For Andrea: Thai Cuccumber Rolls

What you will need:
1 medium cucumber
Fresh basil or other basil
Fresh corriander
Fresh Mint leaves
Mung bean sprouts or other sprouts of your choice (pea sprouts would work really well here too)
Thai chilli or any other availble chilli, I used a jalepeno pepper
Kelp noodles if available
Shredded carrot or cut into thin slivers (for added colour-optional)
Red pepper cut into slivers (nice added color as well-optional)

Thinly slice cucumber lengthwise using a madoline.
Add filling ingredients and roll

Thai Peanut Sauce
1 Tbsp almond butter
1 Tbsp cashew butter
1-2 Tbsp tamari or nama shoyu
1/2 minced garlic (add more if you like it very garlicy, I started with half and added more if needed)
1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger (more or less to your taste)
1 tbsp lime juice

Add water to think out the sauce to a consistency that coats your rolls.

Dip and enjoy!

We had these as a light lunch after a morning hike. They are definately going to be my new favorite! 
Sorry, I don't have a picture to post, you'll just have to take my word for it that they look awesome
