A couple of weeks after making my last batch of VietnameseSalad rolls, we had a craving for something similar but to be honest I didn't
want to spend the time wrapping them! So I ever so slightly adapted the sauce,
added a tonne of veggies, used the same type of rice noodles and left out the
rice paper wrappers to create this great salad. We've had it two times this
week. It’s great at room temperature or chilled so it also makes a great potluck
or BBQ dish.
The real question is why it’s called Thai Noodle Salad but when I use rice paper wraps they're called “Vietnamese Salad Rolls” ... hmmm let’s not over think it!
