Today was our cleaning and tax day, so we had breakfast, cleaned the house, and then started sorting through heaps of paper for the tax declaration. In between we got hungry, and I made vietnamese spring rolls. Those are great for a quick, tasty, and healthy lunch, and they are almost completely raw, except for the rice paper - which you can buy in Asian food stores. And gluten-free!
In order to prepare them, you need all kinds of fresh, raw veggies; here's what these contain:
4-5 leaves romain lettuce, chopped
1/2 large carrot, julienned
1/2 cucumber, julienned
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
a few sprigs of cilantro, chopped
You can also use any other veggies you throw into mixed salads, such as all kinds of lettuce, kale, avocado, beets, radish, sweet potatoes, basil, mint, sprouts, tomatoes, or anything you like.

- Soak the rice paper (I take 2-3 sheets per person, depending on hunger level) for 5 minutes in cold water
- Assemble the rolls according to the short but useful instructional video below (attention: they add shrimps and chicken, so their filling is not vegan)
- Serve with peanut sauce, sesame paste, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or any other dip you like.

nice
