- While these are soaking, julienne/chop the vegetables and tear the lettuce into rice-paper sized pieces.
- When the vegetables are ready, lay them out on paper plates, and line the rice paper with pieces of lettuce.
- Fill with a small amount of vegetables, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt, roll them up and enjoy!
Notes
Note that to julienne means to cut into long, thin strips, that look like matchsticks. Here is a how-to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YU1IBLypo0
