2 avocados, diced

Juice of one lime
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon rice bran or canola oil

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.
