Spring Roll Salad with Spicy Ginger Dressing

What type of rice noodles work best?
Thin rice noodles (vermicelli) work best as they’re light and won’t overwhelm the vegetables. Be sure to rinse well with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.
Can I adjust the spiciness level?
Yes, customize the heat by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes in the dressing. Start with less and add more to taste. The ginger also adds natural heat to the dressing.
What can I substitute for the fresh herbs?
While fresh cilantro and mint are traditional, you could use Thai basil, regular basil, or parsley. The fresh herbs add crucial flavor, so try to use at least one type of fresh herb.
How can I make this more filling?
Add protein like grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or tempeh. You can also increase the peanuts or add edamame for more protein while maintaining the vegetarian status.
