Remove from hot water and rinse with cold water. Immediately toss with garlic lime sauce, cilantro, jalapeño, mint and basil.
  7. Assemble lettuce wraps by layering pickled veggies and meatballs onto lettuce leaves. Top with sriracha and Greek yogurt mixture and sliced jalapeños. Add remaining pickled veggies to spring roll salad (not pictured).
