Creating your Spring Roll Salad is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare Vegetables: Rinse and dry the mixed salad greens. Slice the bell peppers and julienne the cucumber.
2. Cook Vermicelli Noodles: If using, cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Shrimp (if using raw): In a pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
5. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and cooked shrimp. If using, add the vermicelli noodles.
6. Add Herbs: Gently mix in cilantro and mint leaves for added freshness and flavor.
7. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss everything together gently to ensure the dressing evenly coats the ingredients.
8. Garnish: Top the salad with chopped peanuts for a delightful crunch and additional flavor.
9. Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the salad right after combining. Enjoy!
