Method

Make sauce by whisking together all the dipping sauce ingredients.

Mix the carrots, beans sprouts, avocado, cucumber and green onions in a bowl. Fill a separate bowl with water to soften the rice paper. Dip one rice paper wrapper into cold water. Shake off excess water. Place lettuce leaf on the rice paper, then on top put a couple tablespoons of vegetable filling and finally the fresh herbs and wrap like a burrito, first folding the ends over the filling and then rolling. Repeat with remaining filling and rice paper wrappers and slice each roll in half. Serve with dipping sauce.
