Use a peeler to julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds to soften. Carefully remove, allowing excess water to drip off, and lay it flat on a clean surface.
Place one lettuce leaf flat on the bottom third of the rice paper. Add a small amount of noodles, a few strips of carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper, along with two mint leaves and two cilantro leaves.
Roll the wrapper from the bottom (edge closest to you) up over the filling, fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly but gently to form the spring roll. Ensure the roll is sealed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
Serve the spring rolls fresh with the dipping sauce on the side.
