Tips:

  • Prep your veggies: Wash and chop your vegetables before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the assembly process easier.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, like cilantro and mint, add a ton of flavor to this salad. If you can, use them instead of dried herbs.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the salad will not be as good.
  • Use a variety of textures: This salad is all about the different textures. Make sure you have a good mix of crunchy vegetables, soft noodles, and creamy peanut dressing.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: This salad can be made as spicy or mild as you like. If you like spicy food, add more chili peppers to the dressing. If you prefer a milder salad, omit the chili peppers or use less of them.

Conclusion:

This Thai-inspired confetti salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, and noodles, and the peanut dressing adds a creamy and flavorful touch. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be customized to your liking.
