Dipping Sauce:

• 1/1 cup light sugar-free apricot preserves

1. In a large bowl, toss bamboo shoots, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and cabbage. Divide into 10 different portions.
2. Soak one rice paper skin in warm water until softened, about 30 seconds. Lay rice paper on clean, flat surface. Place one portion of the vegetable mixture in the center of the rice paper. Fold the left and right sides of into the middle until almost touching. Roll paper from the bottom to form the roll. Repeat for remaining rice papers. Set aside.

A Little Tip:
You can add additional items to the spring rolls to make them your own. Finely diced chicken, stir-fried tofu, shrimp or shredded pork will add protein.
