Instructions
Prepare all the vegetables by washing and cutting them as listed: julienned carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper; finely shredded purple cabbage; rinsed bean sprouts; and sliced avocado.
Set up a workspace with a large bowl of warm water, a clean cutting board or a damp tea towel, and all the prepped ingredients displayed for easy assembly.
For each spring roll, soften a sheet of rice paper wrapper by dipping it into the bowl of warm water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable.
Lay the softened wrapper flat on the cutting board or damp towel.
Place a small handful of shredded cabbage, a few julienned vegetables (carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper), a small amount of bean sprouts, 2-3 mint leaves, 2-3 cilantro leaves, and a single slice of avocado horizontally across the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, sealing it into a log shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
To prepare a light dipping sauce, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), grated fresh ginger, and water in a small bowl.
Serve the spring rolls fresh with the dipping sauce on the side.
