Vegan Pad Thai Thai Sauce
- 1/4 cup raw almond butter
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoon tamari

1. Combine Thai Sauce ingredients in food processor and let sit while preparing vegetables
2. Prep vegetables. Add the zucchini, carrots, pepper, and cabbage into one or two large bowls. Toss with hands to combine.
3. Prepare the dressing by processing all dressing ingredients in a mini processor (or simply whisk by hand). The dressing may seem a bit thin at first, but it thickens as it sits.

Spring Rolls
- 1 package dry rice paper
- 1 package rice vermicelli noodles cooked
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms diced, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cup basil leaves, de-branched
- 1/2 cup fresh mint, de-branched
- 1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 english cucumber, thinly sliced
1. Place rice noodles in a large pot of boiling hot water for about 10 minutes (read instructions on package), then drain and set aside.
2. Prep veggies by cutting into thin long pieces to fit into the rice wrapping paper
3. Pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds.
4. Transfer rice paper to a damp cutting board or damp towel and gently spread out edges into a circle. It may take a little practice, so don’t feel bad if your first few attempts are not successful.
5. To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer veggies. (I also like to add the Avocado Mango Salsa to give a little bit of sweetness) From the bottom gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until seam is sealed.
Avocado Mango Salsa
1. Mash Avocado into a mixing bowl and add mango, red onion, tomato, jalapeño and Thai Chilli Sauce.
2. Mix together and serve with spring rolls.

- 1 mango, diced into small chunks
