Veggie Spring Rolls with Coconut Peanut Dip

I love veggie spring rolls, but have been unable to find a good sauce to go with them that wasn't loaded with sugar...so I decided to make my own.  It turned out amazing...the perfect amount of sweet and spice for me (who likes a lot) and my husband (who cannot handle much!) My hubby actually said this was one of his favorite dinners...YAY! I know the secret is the coconut peanut dip...so try it!

Coconut Peanut Dip

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk

1/2 cup natural peanut butter

1 T fresh lime juice

2 T raw honey

1/2 T Bragg liquid aminos

1 t minced garlic

1 t minced ginger

1/2 t crushed red pepper

Combine everything in a Vitamix and blend until smooth and creamy. Makes approximately 1 cup.

Veggie Spring Rolls 

Rice paper wrappers

veggies of choice...julienned or chopped

  You can get rice paper wrappers from any Asian market. I like the 8" size because they are easier to work with.  

Assemble your fillings...I used baby carrots, cabbage, red peppers, clover sprouts, cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges to squeeze over the veggies. (Other ideas...cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, spinach, lettuce, zucchini, green onion, fresh herbs, etc.)

Get a large bowl and fill it with warm water. Place the rice wrapper inside the water until soft and pliable, about 20 seconds.

Next place your fillings on the rice wrapper.  

Fold over the sides and bottom of the wrapper and then roll it up tightly.

You can cut them in half for a beautiful presentation or eat whole! 

DIP AWAY!!
