Fresh Vegetable Spring Rolls with Ginger Peanut Sauce

PREP: 30 MIN | MAKES: 8

To speed things up, prep your vegetables early and simply assemble them right before serving. Or you can wrap them ahead of time and chilled up to 2 hours. Cover with a lightly damp paper towel to keep them from drying out. For a heartier dish, add tofu or chicken.
