I love a cold salad in the summer. I also love Vietnamese spring rolls. This salad is a delicious combination of those two things and my new obsession!
The dressing is a play off Vietnamese dipping sauce, a little sour, a little sweet, a little salty, savory, and with a hint of spice.
For the noodles, I really love GloryLand Brown Rice noodles. GloryLand specializes in top-quality gluten free rice noodles and ramen products and have been a joy for this ramen-loving, gluten-free gal! They are additive-free, whole grain, and delicious.
I love lots of fresh veggies and herbs in this salad as well as shrimp, but you can customize this anyway you like. The whole salad comes together in minutes with very little effort and is a full meal.

Build the salads by arranging the noodles, cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, mint and basil leaves in sections on two plates or in shallow bowls. Drizzle with a little of the dressing, serving the rest on the side. Top with the cashews.
