Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and slice all your garden-fresh ingredients into thin, even strips. Lay them out on a platter for easy assembly.
Set Up Your Rolling Station: Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Place a damp kitchen towel on your work surface.
Soften the Rice Paper: Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable. Lay it flat on the damp towel.
Assemble the Roll: Place a small handful of lettuce, julienned vegetables, and fresh herbs in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up, similar to rolling a burrito.
Repeat: Continue until all the ingredients are used, placing the finished rolls on a platter. Cover them with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth. Adjust consistency with water and season to taste.
Serve: Slice the spring rolls in half if desired, and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
