Fresh Spring Roll Salad with Peanut Dressing
A refreshing and colorful salad that brings all the flavors of a fresh spring roll into a simple bowl.
dailyrecipesbook.comThis salad is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the flavors of a spring roll without all the work of wrapping them up. It is light, crunchy, and perfect for those warm days when you want something satisfying but not too heavy.
The secret is the creamy peanut dressing that brings everything together. To keep the noodles from sticking, give them a quick rinse under cold water after boiling and toss them with a tiny bit of sesame oil.

- 8 oz rice vermicelli noodles

๐ก Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If the dressing thickens too much while sitting, just add a tiny splash of water and stir it well before serving.
