Ingredients:

12 gluten-free rice paper wrappers
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (mixed colors)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
Gluten-free soy sauce or gluten-free peanut sauce for dipping
Cooked and sliced gluten-free chicken or shrimp (optional for added protein)

Instructions:

Fill a shallow dish with warm water.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10 seconds or until it becomes pliable.
Place the soaked wrapper flat on a clean surface.
Layer a small amount of shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, matchstick carrots, sliced bell peppers, fresh cilantro leaves, and fresh mint leaves in the center of the wrapper.
If desired, add cooked and sliced gluten-free chicken or shrimp on top of the vegetables.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito.
Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
Serve the mini vegetable spring rolls with gluten-free soy sauce or gluten-free peanut sauce for dipping.
