Spring Roll Salad

This spring roll salad with peanut dressing tastes just like a spring roll but it is way easier to make, not to mention less time consuming! I love the peanut sauce dressing that coats everything!

If you love peanut sauce you may want to double the dressing for this salad for an extra saucy version. This recipes is perfectly balanced as it is written and the amount listed allows you to taste all the herbs and vegetables so that is why it is written like it is. However, I wanted to add the option to make it extra saucy for peanut sauce lovers.

This salad is perfect for a hot summer night when you want something refreshing, light and flavorful! I love how the fresh herbs and vegetables work together to give this such a bright and scrumptious flavor profile.

If you want to add shrimp to this salad it would be delicious too. I have listed it as optional below because it isn’t a necessary component to this dish.
