RICE NOODLE SALAD WITH SALTED PEANUTS AND HERBS
This satisfying salad has rice noodles and vegetables in equal measure, making it bright, crisp and light. The peanuts add richness and a salty crunch, along with a dose of protein. And the dressing is a little spicy and a lot tangy, with a pungent kick from fish sauce, garlic and ginger. The recipe makes just enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables and noodles, but if you're a fan of heavily dressed salads, consider doubling it. Any leftover will keep in the fridge for up to a week, and you'll be happy to drizzle it on fish, chicken and all kinds of vegetables.
