Wash and julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into thin strips (about 3-4 inches in length).
Thinly slice the spring onions lengthwise into strips.
Prepare a large shallow dish or pie pan with warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.
Dip a single rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable. Place it flat on a clean damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
Lay 2 mint leaves and 2 cilantro leaves in the center of the rice paper. Add a small portion of smoked salmon, followed by a few strips of cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, and spring onion.
Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper inward, then tightly roll it from the bottom to form a neat roll. Repeat this process for the remaining rolls.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, sesame seeds, and chili flakes to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the smoked salmon and Asian cucumber salad rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
