Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

Even though it says "summer" in this meal, these rolls can still be enjoyed in the fall. To make these more appropriate for the season, we're using a deep, rich peanut sauce for dipping - enjoy!
Smarts: To reheat these, cover with a wet paper towel and just microwave for ~30 seconds.

Make

Fill a frying pan with about 1 1/2" (3.75 cm) of water. Heat water over medium-low heat - it shouldn’t be so hot that you can’t touch it.
Dip rice paper into water and rotate through water (make sure to watch this video because it can be a bit tricky to prevent the rice paper from sticking). Place onto a plate. Do 4 at a time and then assemble 4 rolls.
To assemble rolls, layer lettuce, noodles, carrots, cucumbers, and chicken at the end of the rice paper that is close to you. Don’t over-fill or the paper will break. Fold rice paper over the filling from the bottom up. Then fold sides over. Roll as tightly as possible (Again, watch the video, which is much better than my description).
Repeat until done. Assemble until you have no more filling.
Enjoy rolls dipped with peanut sauce!
