Prepare the vegetables: Julienne the red bell pepper, carrot, and cucumber into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin slices.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, mint, and cilantro. Roughly chop the lettuce if the leaves are large.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to create a dipping sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10 seconds until it begins to soften.
Remove the wrapper from the water and lay it flat on a clean kitchen towel or cutting board.
Arrange a small portion of lettuce, a couple of strips of bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, a slice or two of avocado, and a few mint and cilantro leaves on the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper, leaving about an inch of space on the sides.
Fold the lower edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly but gently. Be careful not to tear the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
