    side dishes | This easy version of a Thai favorite will have your guests thinking you spent hours in the kitchen. Truth is, though, if you set up the ingredients in an assembly-line fashion, you'll be done preparing these rolls in no time.

    List of Ingredients




    1 Tbsp rice vinegar
    1 tsp lime zest
    1/2 tsp sugar
    1 cup cooked brown rice, chilled
    1 avocado, cut into chunks
    3 Tbsp fat-free mayonnaise
    2 tsp fresh lime juice
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/4 tsp table salt
    8 piece lettuce, large romaine leaves, split in half lengthwise and center ribs removed
    1 small yellow pepper(s), cut into very thin strips
    6 oz lump crabmeat
    1 1/2 cup cilantro, about 16 fresh leaves

    Recipe



    1. Stir vinegar, lime zest and sugar into chilled rice.
    2. Place avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, cayenne pepper and salt in a food processor; blend until smooth.
    3. Spread equal amounts of avocado mixture onto lettuce leaves; spoon about 1 tablespoon rice mixture over each leaf and spread it to 1 inch from end. Place 3 or 4 pepper strips down center of each leaf; roll up and secure with a toothpick. Top each with 1 small piece of crabmeat and a cilantro leaf. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Yields 2 spring rolls per serving.
