When temperatures rise, nothing hits the spot like a cool, spicy salad. This glass noodle creation, inspired by Southeast Asian cuisine, brings together a symphony of flavors and textures that’s both refreshing and satisfying.
The magic happens in the dressing—a blend of anchovies, fish sauce, red chilies, makrut lime leaves, lime juice, tamarind paste, and olive oil. This combination delivers savory, spicy, citrusy, and sweet-tart notes in every bite.
After soaking the glass noodles, they’re tossed with juicy prawns, crisp cucumber, and a trio of fresh herbs: basil, mint, and coriander. Letting the salad rest is essential, allowing the noodles to absorb all the vibrant flavors.
This salad is perfect for any occasion. Serve it chilled for extra refreshment, or add more chili for an extra kick. It’s easy to prepare, endlessly adaptable, and sure to become a summer favorite.
