Tomato, Avocado and Quinoa Spring Rolls

Spring rolls are great but tomato, avocado, and quinoa spring rolls are better. Every bite is packed with fluffy quinoa accompanied by juicy bites of tomato and creamy avocado. The ingredients in the spring rolls are more than enough but a soy, garlic and ginger dipping sauce is served alongside the rolls for additional flavor.

Makes 8-10 spring rolls

Spring Rolls:

• 8-10 rice paper wrappers
• 2 Haas avocados, diced
• 1-2 tomatoes, diced
