INSTRUCTIONS
Place all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a glass mixing bowl and whisk together until well blended. Put aside until needed.
Cover a large board with a damp linen tea towel. Fill a dinner plate with water. Sprinkle lemon juice on the avocado. Make the dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
Dip a rice paper into the water, leave for 30 seconds to soften then transfer to board (the paper will continue to soften while you work). Place a couple of mint leaves in centre of paper. Top with some carrot, capsicum, cucumber, cabbage and spring onion. Add an avocado slice, and some coriander. Fold ends in then roll up from bottom into a firm roll. Place, seam side down, on a plate and work quickly to make other 11 rolls.
Cut rolls in half and arrange on a plate. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
