Instructions
Mango Lime & Mint Dipping Sauce
Combine all the ingredients in a blender.
For Blendtec: Secure lid. Use the Salsa/Batters button or use manual speed for 30 seconds.
For Vitamix: Secure lid. Start on variable speed 1 and increase to variable speed 10/high. Blend for 30 seconds.
Keeps in a sealed container, refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
Fill a large bowl with warm water and spread a kitchen towel on your work surface.
Working with 1 rice paper wrapper at a time, soak wrapper in warm water just until pliable, about 30 seconds.
Place it on the kitchen towel.
Divide the julienned fruits and vegetables and the kelp noodles evenly along the center of each wrapper, layering your ingredients as you go.
Repeat with most of the cilantro, basil, and mint, reserving some for garnish.
Holding the end closest to you with both hands, fold it over the filling.
Tuck it under the filling using your fingertips and gently pulling the wrapper taut.
Fold in the sides, then tightly roll up the summer roll, squeezing the ingredients to get a tight roll.
Place each roll as finished on a damp paper towel and cover with another damp paper towel, to keep them from drying out.
Cut each roll in half diagonally and garnish with the remaining herbs.
Serve immediately with mango, lime & mint dipping sauce.

Notes
* If the rice paper tears while you’re wrapping, just soak another wrapper and wrap it around the torn one. ** If kelp noodles are hard soak in hot water to soften first
