Spring Roll Recipe (serves about 4): Ingredients: --16 round rice paper skins (these can be found at any Asian market or health food store) --1/2 lb. of mixed lettuce greens (spring mix, romaine, green or red leaf lettuce, kale etc). --2 carrots (washed, peeled, and sliced into long slivers) --1 bunch of cilantro (washed) --1 bunch of basil (washed) --2 avacados (sliced into long segments) --1 bell pepper (any color) Wash and tear lettuce into small pieces. Set aside. Fill a shallow pan or a large plate with warm water. Place 1 sheet of rice paper in the water. Pat the rice paper down until it is covered in water. Wait until the rice paper softens and becomes pliable (around 10-15 seconds) and transfer it out of the water and onto a cutting board. Place 4-5 leaves of cilantro and 2-3 leaves of basil on the in a straight line on the soaked rice paper. Add a few slices of avocado, red pepper and carrot strips on top of the herbs. Arrange a handful of lettuce mix on top. Roll up like a burrito and serve/eat. Dip in Thai Nut Sauce for a glorious dining experience. Thai Nut Sauce (my personal favorite raw dip/dressing): Thai Nut Sauce: Ingredients: 1 C almonds 1/2 C olive oil 1/2 C tamari sauce (or Braggs Amino Acids) 1/2 C agave 4 cloves of garlic Blend almonds in a high-speed blender or food processor ( Note: blenders make the sauce smoother). Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve with veggies, on a salad or with Spring Rolls
