    1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)
    1 cup shredded carrots
    1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
    1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
    1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
    1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    1/4 cup chopped peanuts or cashews (optional)
    1 package rice vermicelli noodles, cooked and cooled (optional)
    For the Spicy Ginger Dressing:
    3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
    2 tablespoons rice vinegar
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    1/2 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
    2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil

Instructions

Prepare rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions if using; drain and cool.

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and noodles if using.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, sriracha, and oil until well combined.
  3. Pour dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top before serving for extra crunch.

Notes

  1. Add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu for protein.
  2. Use lime juice instead of rice vinegar for a citrus twist.
  3. Swap peanuts for toasted sesame seeds.
  4. Add sliced avocado or mango for creaminess and sweetness.
  5. Use kale or bok choy instead of mixed greens for different textures.
  6. Store salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  7. Add dressing and nuts just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.
  8. No reheating needed.
