Thai Rice Noodle Salad with Cucumber and Herbs Recipe
A light, refreshing salad with rice noodles, cucumber and plenty of fresh herbs is the perfect dish for warm days. In Thailand, similar salads are often served as a side to grilled meats, but they can easily be a standalone, light meal. The flavor is a bit like Vietnamese spring rolls, just in a “no-wrapping” version.

Ingredients
- thin rice noodles (vermicelli) - 120 g
- fresh cucumber - 1 piece
- carrot - 1 piece
- onion czerwona - 0.5 piece
- fresh coriander - 3 tablespoons
- fresh mint - 2 tablespoons
- roasted unsalted peanuts - 30 g
- fish sauce (for a veg version use soy sauce) rybny - 2 tablespoons
- lime juice - 3 tablespoons
- brown sugar trzcinowy - 1.5 tablespoons
- red chili pepper - 1 piece
- garlic - 1 clove
Main Ingredient:
rice noodles
Preparation
- Pour boiling water over the rice noodles in a large bowl and set aside for 3–4 minutes (or according to the package instructions) until softened. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside to drain.
- Wash the cucumber and cut into thin half-moons or matchsticks. Peel the carrot and coarsely grate it or cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the onion into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, make the dressing: mix the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, finely chopped garlic and chili. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Taste – the dressing should be sweet-sour-salty with a gentle heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained rice noodles, cucumber, carrot and onion. Add the chopped coriander and mint.
- Pour the prepared dressing over everything. Gently but thoroughly toss with your hands or tongs so the dressing coats the noodles and vegetables evenly.
- Sprinkle the salad with the crushed peanuts just before serving so they stay crunchy.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or slightly chilled.
