This salad is perfect when you’re short on time but craving something bold. Combining store-cupboard staples with fresh herbs, it’s a refreshing, no-cook meal that tastes like a tropical escape.
A vibrant dressing of anchovies, chillies, shallots, lime juice, and tamarind gives the dish a powerful tang. Extra depth comes from chilli sauce and fish sauce, while dark brown sugar rounds out the acidity.
The noodles are softened in hot water, drained, and then tossed with prawns, fresh herbs like mint and coriander, and crisp cucumber. After a brief rest, the salad is ready to enjoy.
Fresh, fiery, and surprisingly filling, this dish is great for gatherings, picnics, or solo meals with a twist.
