Cut the raw salmon into bite-size pieces. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, then peel. Cut each half into 1/2 in. wide slices. Tear the lettuce into small pieces.

step 2:

Pour the 2 cups water into a bowl. Put a rice paper into the water and soak about 20 seconds. Remove and place it on a cutting board with the rough surface up and wipe dry with a paper towel.

step 3:

Put two avocado slices on the lower part of the rice paper. Put the lettuce over them.

Place two pieces of the salmon on the remaining part of the rice paper. Roll it over once to complete the spring roll. Repeat from Step 2 to Step 3 to make the remaining 3 rolls.

step 6:

Cut the rolls in half. To make the dipping sauce, stir the wasabi (Japanese horseradish) into the soy sauce in two shallow dishes.
