A gluten-free noodle salad that is anything but boring! To keep the salad gluten-free, I used maifun noodles. Maifun noodles are gluten-free Asian angel hair rice noodles. They are light and sooo good, perfect for cold salads!

I chose these noodles because they are ideal for this cold salad since they are super thin and absorb the flavours from the light dressing, making everything in this Vietnamese dish extra flavourful.

When hot weather hits, salads are on our minds.

And spending time in a hot kitchen is, let’s say, not appealing. This is why I love this cold Vietnamese noodle salad.
