A vibrant and refreshing Spring Roll Salad with Peanut Dressing packed with crunchy vegetables, rice noodles, and a creamy, tangy peanut sauce for a light yet satisfying vegan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz rice noodles (about 2 cups cooked)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 medium cucumber, julienned
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint or basil (optional)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (smooth and unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2–3 tbsp warm water (to thin the dressing)
  • Sriracha or chili flakes, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the vegetables by washing, peeling, and thinly slicing or shredding as needed. Set aside.
  2. Cook the rice noodles according to the package directions. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then drain well.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Slowly add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing is smooth and pourable. Adjust taste with more lime or maple syrup as needed.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the rice noodles, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, bell peppers, herbs, and green onions.
  6. Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Top with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, or tofu cubes if desired. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Store dressing separately if meal prepping; mix before serving.
  • Add tofu, tempeh, or edamame for extra protein.
  • Try adding mango or orange slices for a sweet, tropical touch.
  • The peanut dressing can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
