Preparation Steps
- Begin by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still firm to the bite. After cooking, drain the noodles and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
- While the noodles cool, thinly slice the shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and green onions. For best results, aim for uniform slices to ensure even mixing later. Once prepared, set all the vegetables aside in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, add the prepared carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, mint leaves, and green onions to the mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together, allowing the fresh aromas of the herbs to meld with the vegetables.
- Now, it’s time to add the cooled rice vermicelli noodles to the vegetable mix. Using tongs or two forks, gently fold the noodles into the salad ingredients. Be careful not to break the noodles.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or agave syrup), sesame oil, and chili sauce. Continue whisking until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
- Pour the prepared spicy ginger dressing over the salad mixture, allowing it to cascade over the colorful vegetables and noodles. Gently toss the salad to ensure every ingredient is evenly coated.
- Transfer the finished Spring Roll Salad with Spicy Ginger Dressing to a beautiful serving platter. If you like, garnish with crushed peanuts for an added crunch. Serve immediately.

Notes
Add the dressing only when ready to serve to keep the salad fresh. Taste and adjust the dressing to your preference before serving.
