Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel and julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin wedges.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and parsley. Set these aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese with the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper at a time until it becomes pliable, about 15-20 seconds, then lay it flat on a clean, damp tea towel or cutting board.
Near the bottom third of the rice paper, spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus.
On top of the hummus, layer a few strips each of cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper, followed by a couple of slices of avocado.
Sprinkle with chopped mint and parsley, and add a spoonful of the feta cheese mixture.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, tightly roll up the rice paper to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Serve the rolls fresh, with a small dish of hummus or your favorite dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor.
