So...the last post of my recipe-every-two-weeks promise was, what...February? That is just sad. And I am sorry. But I am here to redeem myself:
Vegetable Summer Spring Rolls w/ Chili Lime dipping sauce:

-Avocado, thinly sliced
-Red and yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
-Alfalfa sprouts
-Cucumber, de-seeded and thinly sliced
-Vermicelli noodles
-Fish sauce
-Fresh lime juice and zest
-Chopped red chili
-Sugar
-Water
Directions:
-Combine 2 tbsp fish sauce with 1 tbsp sugar, juice and zest of 1/2 lime. Add in one diced red chili (and then wash your hands!). Set aside to marinate.
-Cook Vermicelli according to package directions (about 1 minute) then let cool.
-Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-Place egg roll wrapper on your cutting board with one corner point toward you. Place vermicelli, avocado strips, pepper strips, cucumber, then alfalfa sprouts, and roll up the board.
-Place roll seam side down in oil, then flip to cook each side.
-Cut in half, dip in sauce, enjoy!
