Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and vegetable oil until well combined. Set aside.

  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the mixed fresh herbs, then chop them roughly or leave the smaller leaves whole for a more delicate presentation. Place the herbs in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Add the shredded red cabbage, thinly sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, and sliced red chili (if using) to the bowl with the fresh herbs.

  4. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the herb and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  5. Transfer the dressed salad to a serving dish or individual plates.

  6. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and crispy fried shallots over the top of the salad for added texture and flavor.

  7. Serve the Vietnamese Herb Salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or pair it with grilled meats, rice noodles, or spring rolls for a complete meal.
