Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool, and set aside.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchstick strips. Do the same with the cucumber and bell pepper. Thinly slice the avocado and set aside.
Wash and pat dry the fresh mint, cilantro, and basil leaves. Remove any tough stems as needed.
Layers of lettuce can be torn into smaller pieces to fit the rice paper wrappers and set aside.
Prepare the peanut dipping sauce in a small bowl: Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable. Remove and lay it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or surface.
Layer the fillings: Place a few pieces of lettuce, noodles, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and herbs centrally on the wrapper.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Arrange the finished spring rolls on a serving platter. Serve them fresh with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
