Once the temperature starts to climb, I have a one-track mind for cooling, crunchy meals. I’m talking easy chopped salads, I’m talking crispy rice bowls, and I’m definitely talking cold noodle salads like this one. Make this rice noodle salad with salmon recipe ASAP, then use it as a formula for all of your future satisfying and easy summer meals.
The salmon, which cooks under the broiler in about 7 minutes, is so flavorful thanks to a simple spread of curry paste and honey. (Even if you don’t make the salad, this salmon is definitely worth a go.) Serve it over a bed of chewy rice noodles, crunchy carrots, cooling cucumbers, and fresh herbs with crushed cashews and some store-bought fried shallots if you have them. It all comes together for the most satisfying bowl with plenty of textural and flavor variety.
