Spring Roll Salad with Peanut Dressing
Meet your new weeknight favorite: spring roll salad—everything you love about fresh rolls, tossed in a big crunchy bowl. Juicy cucumber, crisp veggies, tender noodles, tons of herbs, and a zippy dressing bring all the Vietnamese-inspired flavors without any rolling required.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 12 ounces cooked shrimp, deveined and tail removed (if frozen defrost and drain)
- 3 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced into sticks
- 4 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into sticks
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 2 cups carrots, cut into matchsticks
- fresh mint
Peanut Lime Dressing Ingredients
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sriracha
- 1/8 tsp garlic granules
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- If the shrimp you are using is frozen, begin by defrosting the shrimp by running it under cold water until no longer frozen.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once the noodles are cooked, drain, rinse in water to remove any excess starch (this will prevent sticking), and toss in 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil if not used right away.
- Make the peanut lime dressing by whisking together the dressing ingredients. If you prefer a thinner dressing, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of water and whisk.
- To a salad bowl, add your cooked noodles, cucumber, cabbage, bell pepper, bean sprouts, carrot, shrimp, and fresh herbs. Mint and Thai basil are great here! Drizzle your peanut lime dressing on, toss, and enjoy! Extra dressing is always welcome.
Notes
Tip: If the dressing is too thick, whisk in warm water 1 teaspoon at a time until it’s pourable.
