4 piece
Rice paper
2 tsp
Hummus
12 leaf
Basil, fresh
8 slice
Cucumber
(sliced vertically)
1/4 cup grated
Carrots
1/2 cup shredded
Red leaf lettuce
(or chopped thin; or any type of lettuce)
1/2 cup
Peanuts, roasted

Instructions
Take a plate and put warm water on the plate (like a large puddle).
Put 1 rice wrapper at a time in the water for 10 seconds. Make sure the rice wrapper is fully submerged under water. Remove from water and put on a dry flat surface (another plate, cutting board, or countertop).
First spread 1 tsp of hummus on each paper. Next place the basil leaves and peanuts, and then layer some cucumbers, carrots, and lettuce. Wrap it all up like a burrito, fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the left and right sides, and roll to close.
Ready to eat with your choice of dipping sauce like Thai chili sauce or a spicy peanut sauce. See notes for lots of other possible ingredients to add.
