Fresh Vegetable Salad Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Makes 16 rolls (8 servings)

Directions

1. Make Spicy Peanut dipping sauce by combining ingredients. Sauce ingredients may need to be heated slightly to fully incorporate, depending on the type of peanut butter used. Reserve.

2. Combine first 7 vegetables in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Soak the spring roll wrappers in hot water for a few minutes or until completely pliable. Lay wrapper on a damp towel to catch excess moisture.

3. Place half of a red lettuce leaf in the middle of the wrapper, then add a 1/4 cup of the filling inside of the lettuce leaf. Carefully, fold in the sides, then take the bottom and bring it up over the sides, rolling tightly into a cylinder. Place seam side down for a few minutes so wrappers can make a seal.

4. If not serving immediately (or within a few hours), wrap each roll in its own piece of plastic wrap.

5. Serve with sauce.
