Ingredients

  • 8 oz Vermicelli rice noodle
  • 2 cups lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves chopped
  • 1 cup rotisserie chicken shredded

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Cook vermicelli rice noodles based on package instructions. When done, drain and set aside. If rice noodles are set aside for a while, rinse noodles in cold water to prevent them from sticking together and overcooking.
  • While vermicelli rice noodles are cooking, prepare and chop the vegetables - lettuce, carrots, cilantro, mint leaves. Shred rotisserie chicken.
  • In a mason jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Shake to mix well.
  • Bring rice noodles, lettuce, carrots, cilantro, mint leaves, rotisserie chicken into a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to combine. (see note below)
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Adjust dressing to taste. There is a generous amount of dressing in this recipe - most likely you will not need it all for this salad.
