Instructions

Cook rice noodles. Angel hair rice noodles don’t need to be “cooked”. They need to be soaked in very hot water for minutes. (Prepare according to package instructions.) Pour noodles into a mesh strainer and rinse with cold water to cool down. Let sit in the strainer to let any additional water strain out while you prep the rest of the salad.
Prep salad dressing by adding all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together thoroughly.
Add salad ingredients to a large bowl. Pour dressing on top and toss thoroughly. (The noodles tend to stick together, so adding smaller chunks of noodles to the bowl in between other ingredients can help evenly distribute them.) For optimal flavor, let it sit for 15+ minutes before serving so that the flavors soak in.

Storage Tips

While this spring roll salad is spectacular, it is best when it’s fresh. That said, I only recommend that you store it in your fridge for a maximum of two to three days. Since it’s so simple and quick to make, it’s easy to put it together anytime your cravings strike.
