Instructions

  1. 1 Make the dressing: Stir vinegar, lime juice, and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
  2. 2 Make the salad: Hold cucumber upright and use a peeler to remove strips of peel lengthwise, making a pattern of peeled and unpeeled strips all the way around for a decorative effect. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice each half.
  3. 3 Place cucumber into a salad bowl with tomatoes and red onion; mix to combine. Pour dressing over salad and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Just before serving, stir cilantro into salad and sprinkle chopped peanuts over top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Mix chicken, red onion, celery, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and mayonnaise until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Working one at a time, dip a rice paper into cold water and let soak just until it starts to become flexible. Shake off most of the excess water and lay on a work surface. Place 2 slices of avocado in the center of the wrapper, about 1 inch in from the edge closest to you. Layer with bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot, spread about 1/4 cup chicken salad over top, and cover with lettuce.
  3. 3 Grab the end of the wrapper closest to you and roll it up, gently stretching the flexible rice paper while tucking in the sides. Wet a second wrapper and wrap it around the first. Wrap the summer roll in barely damp paper towels and cover with plastic while you make the remaining 5 rolls.
  4. 4 Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper together for dipping sauce.
  5. 5 Serve summer rolls with dipping sauce on the side.
