2. Mix the Dressing:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth.

3. Combine and Season:

   • Pour the dressing over the Waldorf salad mixture.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly.

4. Soften the Rice Paper:

   • Prepare a large bowl of hot water.
   • Dip each rice paper sheet into the hot water for about 5-10 seconds, or until it softens.
   • Carefully remove and place on a damp tea towel.

5. Assemble the Rolls:

   • On one edge of the softened rice paper, place a heaped tablespoon of the Waldorf salad mixture.
   • Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards, then roll it once to enclose the filling.
   • Place a fresh mint leaf along the wrapper.

6. Finish Rolling:

   • Continue rolling the rice paper tightly until the filling is completely enclosed.
   • Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and filling.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Arrange the finished rolls on a serving tray.
   • Cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while assembling the rest.
   • Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra mint leaves if desired.

Tips and Variations:

• Make-Ahead: These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep them covered to prevent drying.
• Vegetarian Option: Skip the ham and turkey for a vegetarian version. You can add extra nuts or even some chickpeas for protein.
• Gluten-Free: Rice paper is naturally gluten-free, making this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
• Dipping Sauce: Serve with a side of sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or a simple soy-ginger dipping sauce for added flavor.
