Spring Roll Salad with Spicy Ginger Dressing - Step 2

Ingredients

1 cup rice vermicelli noodles
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (red and yellow)
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/4 cup peanuts, crushed (optional)
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili sauce (adjust based on spice preference)

Instructions

Step 1

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add rice vermicelli noodles. Let stand for 3-5 minutes until noodles are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside to drain completely.

Step 2

2. While noodles are cooking, prepare all vegetables: shred carrots, slice bell peppers and cucumber, and chop herbs. Place all prepared vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

3. Make the Spicy Ginger Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or agave), sesame oil, and chili sauce until well combined.

Step 4

4. Add cooled and drained noodles to the bowl with vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients, ensuring noodles are well coated with dressing.

Step 5

5. Add chopped cilantro, mint, and green onions to the salad. Toss gently to distribute herbs throughout.

Step 6

6. If using, sprinkle crushed peanuts over the top of the salad for added crunch and nutty flavor.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
