Vietnamese noodle salad = fragrant, easy, tasty
Went back down to the “big smoke” yesterday and was reminded of the Vietnamese noodle salads I would get all the time. Here’s the Opti version, certainly not my creation but more a supplementation !
You can add and minus any salad veggies you have available, just cut everything finely, as the texture lends itself to this way rather than chunky.
Awesome as a share plate scenario, serves four, probably two if you love Vietnamese flavours as much as I do !

Instructions

Notes
- Add any other vegetables you have, ensuring they are sliced thinly.
- Doesn't freeze or refrigerate well, you can make the dressing the day before.
- Nutritional notes : please ignore the panel on this recipe. It is incorrect, I am attempting to get it fixed at the moment. This recipe is definitely intensive compliant.
