Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup sliced red bell pepper

1 cup cucumber, julienned

1 cup red cabbage, shredded

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, sliced

8 large rice paper wrappers

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Peanut Sauce:

¼ cup natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

Water (to thin to desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth, adding water gradually to achieve your preferred consistency. Set aside.

    Set Up Your Rolling Station: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Gather all your filling ingredients and a clean, damp kitchen towel.

      Soften Rice Paper Wrappers: Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds or until pliable. Carefully remove it and place it on the damp kitchen towel.

        Fill the Wrapper: On the lower third of the rice paper, layer a small amount of the cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, julienned cucumber, shredded red cabbage, a few cilantro leaves, and a couple of avocado slices.

          Roll Up the Wrapper: Starting from the bottom, fold the edge of the wrapper over the filling. Tuck it in gently, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly until fully wrapped. Repeat for the remaining wrappers and filling.

            Serve: Arrange the veggie rolls on a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside the peanut sauce for dipping.
