Ingredients
  

For the rolls

  • 3 collard greens washed and trimmed
  • 1 green bell pepper julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 1 yellow bell pepper julienned
  • 1 cucumber julienned
  • 1/2 red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 large avocado thinly sliced
  • 6 rice paper wraps
  • 1 cup sprouts
  • 6 teaspoons green onion thinly sliced
  • 3 teaspoons fresh basil
  • 3 teaspoons fresh cilantro
  • 3 teaspoons fresh mint

For the sauce

  • 1/3 cup organic peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut amino acids
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut nectar substitute maple syrup or agave for a less tart sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated or powdered

Instructions
 

For the rolls:

  • Tear the collard greens until the pieces are slightly smaller than the rice paper wraps.
  • Wet a piece of rice paper with warm water in a shallow plate. When you’re ready to assemble, move rice paper to a dry plate and place a piece of collard green over it as a base for the rest of the veggies.
  • Lay a slice or two of each vegetable down, to your liking, along with a pinch of sprouts.
  • Sprinkle a small handful of green onion and a pinch of each herb over the vegetables. Gently but tightly roll the rice paper, folding in the sides as you do.

For the sauce:

  • Blend together all of the ingredients in a food processor, and serve alongside the rolls for dipping.
