Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Prepare all vegetables and herbs: julienne the bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot. Slice the avocado. Halve the cherry tomatoes and pit and halve the olives. Set aside in individual bowls for easy access during rolling.
2. In a small bowl, mix the hummus with lemon juice to thin it slightly for dipping. Set aside.
3. Fill a large shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, submerge it in the water for about 10-20 seconds until it's soft and pliable but not too flimsy.
4. Carefully remove the softened rice paper and lay it flat on a clean, dry cutting board or surface.
5. On the lower third of the rice paper, place a small handful of mixed salad greens as the base. Layer a few slices of each vegetable (red bell pepper, cucumber, carrot) and add a few slices of avocado.
6. Add a few mint and basil leaves, a spoonful of kalamata olives, some cherry tomato halves, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
7. Start rolling the salad roll by folding the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then rolling it from the bottom to the top, keeping the filling tight within the wrapper.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 for the remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients.
9. Serve the salad rolls immediately with the hummus lemon dip on the side.
