Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water.
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchstick strips.
Cut the cucumber into thin strips, removing the seeds if desired to avoid excess moisture.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips.
Finely shred the purple cabbage.
Slice the avocado into thin strips just before assembly to prevent browning.
To prepare the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, honey or agave syrup, and sesame oil. Adjust the seasoning to taste and set aside.
Submerge a rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds or until it becomes soft and pliable. Remove and lay the wrapper flat on a clean, damp dish towel or cutting board.
Near the bottom center of the wrapper, layer a small amount of shredded cabbage, carrot, cucumber, red pepper, a few strips of avocado, and a sprinkle of mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly away from you, tucking the filling in to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Arrange rolls seam side down on a serving platter and serve with the prepared dipping sauce.
