- 1 cup fresh mixed herbs (parsley, mint, and cilantro)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons zaatar spice mix

Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop all the vegetables and herbs into thin strips.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese with the zaatar spice mix, adding the prepared vegetables and herbs. Toss gently to combine.

- Fill the Rolls: Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
