Vermicelli Noodle Salad

Fresh, Healthy, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Tasty Eat

How was your weekend people? 

We had the most beautiful weather here in Melbourne and I made this easy, fresh, veggie & herb loaded vermicelli noodle salad bowl for a lovely afternoon lunch?

I often make this for a satisfying quick & easy, no fuss lunch or dinner.

And if I have any left overs, I pack them in individual containers with all the trimmings.  Leave it in the fridge for when I need a quick healthy lunch the next day.

This vermicelli noodle salad is so refreshing with all the fresh herbs, it’s also gluten free and vegan too, not to mention delicious as well 😋 .

The sauce for the vermicelli noodle salad can be made days ahead and can be stored in the fridge.

Just chuck in your choice of fresh veggies, mint, vermicelli noodles, sauce and toss.

Sprinkle some pickled vegetables, fried onions and toasted peanuts for extra texture and flavour punch 🤤.

You can also add veggie spring rolls, crispy tofu or veggie mince to bulk up this already filling vermicelli noodle salad, but keep it simple is my motto 😉.

This sauce also goes well as a dipping sauce for your spring rolls and oh, did I mention it’s vegan! 

No fish sauce is required in making this sweet and tangy sauce. I just substitute it with soy sauce and salt 👌.

Fresh, Healthy, Gluten Free, Vegan, and Tasty, I think we got a winner here!
