Raw Thai Spring Rolls

I hesitated to make and post this recipe because, although it is raw, it is not technically a properly combined meal.  Although avocados can mix as a starch and with dry fruit, they are not supposed to be combined with nuts or nut butters.  The recipe sounded so good though, I just had to try it anyway.  I started off following a recipe from a book called Rawsome for Green Spring Rolls with Sweet and Sour Sauce but I ran out of time to make the sauce so I ended up completely improvising and switching things up to minimize the affect of the improper combining.  It turned out so damn good, I don't even feel the need to try the original.  So unless you are completely stringent with your meal combining, I highly recommended trying this recipe out!
