Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3–5 minutes, or until tender but slightly chewy. Once done, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.
- While the noodles are cooking, wash and thinly slice the shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and green onions. Place all the sliced vegetables in a large bowl, along with the bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, and mint leaves.
- Gently toss the prepared vegetables in the bowl with your hands or salad tongs.
- Once the noodles are cooled and rinsed, add them to the vegetable mix in the large bowl. Use your hands or a pair of tongs to gently fold the noodles into the vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or agave syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the freshly prepared Spicy Ginger Dressing over the salad mix. Using salad tongs or a spoon, gently toss the salad again to ensure every vegetable and noodle is beautifully coated in the dressing.
- Allow the dressed salad to chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Once chilled, carefully transfer the Spring Roll Salad to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle crushed peanuts on top before serving.
