1. Start by cooking the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, they should be boiled for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
2. Prepare the vegetables: julienne the cucumber and carrot, thinly slice the bell pepper, and slice the avocado.
3. Have all the vegetables, herbs, and cooked noodles ready as your filling station.
4. Fill a shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water briefly, submerging it entirely for about 5 seconds. Remove and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface.
5. Place a small amount of vermicelli noodles, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, avocado, a leaf each of basil and mint, and one sprig of cilantro near the bottom edge of the wrapper.
6. To roll the wrapper, gently fold the bottom over the filling, then fold the sides inward, and continue to roll tightly yet gently to avoid tearing, much like a burrito.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
8. Serve the spring rolls immediately with soy-free hoisin dipping sauce or store in the refrigerator covered with a damp paper towel for up to a day.
