Prepare the vegetables: Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips. Slice the cucumber and red bell pepper into equally thin strips. Set them aside.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mint leaves and set them aside for adding a burst of freshness to the rolls.
In a food processor, pulse the raw cashews until they are chopped into small, coarse pieces to mimic the tofu texture.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, minced garlic clove, and grated fresh ginger to create a simple dipping sauce. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and lightly sauté it for 3-5 minutes until softened but not overly cooked. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, if desired, and set aside to cool.
Lay a butter lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Place a small amount of sautéed cauliflower rice in the center of the leaf.
Layer a few pieces of carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper on top of the cauliflower rice. Add a small amount of chopped cashews and a few sprigs of cilantro and mint.
Carefully roll the butter lettuce leaf from the bottom up, folding in the sides to create a tight spring roll shape. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side for a flavorful Whole30-compliant snack or light meal.
