Vegetable Rolls

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Slice the beets and radishes very thin (a mandoline is very helpful here).
  2. Julienne the carrots, thinly slice the cabbage, tear the lettuce and thinly slice the avocado. Put all the vegetables into separate bowls.
  3. Fill a large shallow bowl with hot water.
  4. Soak 1 rice paper wrapper at a time in the water for 20 seconds until just pliable.
  5. Spread on a work surface. Put some of the beets, cabbage, sprouts, lettuce, avocado and basil in the middle.
  6. Fold the sides inward and tightly roll the wrapper up round the filling.
  7. Serve with rolls with the dipping sauce.

Notes

When laying out the vegetables, layer different ones on the bottom to give variety in the appearance.

Optional: Add 1 cup shredded chicken or 12 shrimp sliced in half horizontally for additional protein.
