These vegan and gluten-free pineapple spring rolls are bursting with fresh flavors and textures. They're perfect as a light appetizer or a healthy snack. The sweet pineapple adds a tropical twist to the traditional spring rolls, while the colorful veggies provide a satisfying crunch. Dip them in the tangy soy-ginger dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor!

Ingredients: 8 rice paper wrappers. 2 cups shredded purple cabbage. 1 cup julienned carrots. 1 cup sliced cucumber. 1 cup diced pineapple. 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves. 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts. For the dipping sauce: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger.

Instructions: In a small bowl, whisk all of the sauce's ingredients together to make it. Put away. Put warm water in a big, shallow dish. For a short time, dip one rice paper wrapper into the water to make it soft. When the wrapper is soft, lay it flat on a clean surface. In the middle of the wrapper, put a small handful of corn, pineapple, cilantro, mint, cucumber, cabbage, and peanuts. To wrap the filling, fold the bottom of the wrapper over it, then fold the sides in, and roll it up tight. Do it again with the rest of the wrappers and filling. Dip the spring rolls in the sauce and serve them with it on the side. Have fun!
