5 small baby marrows

1 small cucumber

Handful fresh coriander, chopped

Handful fresh mint, chopped

10 Vietnamese spring roll wrappers

10 fresh basil leaves

5 nasturtium leaves, finely sliced

60ml (4 tbsp) soy sauce

Method:

1) Cut baby marrows and cucumber into thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler, then toss with the coriander, mint and sweet chilli sauce.
