This bright and crunchy noodle salad brings together tender vermicelli noodles, crisp veggies, and a zesty cilantro citrus dressing with a hint of heat from chili. It’s a no-cook recipe that's light yet satisfying, making it perfect for warm days. This recipe serves 4 as a side, or 2 as a main, though consider adding edamame beans for an extra boost of protein if serving as a main.

This is a great salad for a warm day. It's refreshing and really well balanced! I didn't have fresh chilli, so instead I replaced some of the oil in the dressing with chilli crisp oil and I served the salad with some vegan spring rolls. I imagine adding some fresh fruit like mango to the salad would be very nice too!Will definitely be making this again during the summer. Thanks for another great recipe!

Awe we're so happy to hear you enjoyed it, Sanna! We love the idea of using chili crisp oil in place of the fresh chili too ☺️

Very good salad, different from all the vermicelli salads I ate. Citrusy and fresh, perfect for summer
