This gorgeous spring roll salad brings everything you love about spring rolls into a single bowl and tosses it all with a homemade dressing that’s perfectly sweet with a touch of heat.
I love everything about spring rolls — the crunch of fresh ingredients, a hot and sweet dipping sauce, all tied together with delicious Asian-inspired flavors. And this salad is exactly that. We’re tossing super fresh veggies with mini shrimp and vermicelli noodles in a homemade dressing that brings together the flavors of orange marmalade, ginger, garlic and soy.
What You Need for Spring Roll Salad
Vermicelli noodles: These rice noodles are the base of this spring roll salad.
Fresh veggies and herbs: This spring roll salad is veggie-packed! We’re using a combination of fresh carrots, English cucumber, red cabbage, green onion, cilantro, mint and basil.
Mini shrimp: We love using pre-cooked mini shrimp for this salad because they’re bite-sized and easy to use in a cold salad like this.
Peanuts: Give your roasted and salted peanuts a rough chop before sprinkling in this spring roll salad.
Wonton strips: Add these right before serving to keep things crunchy.
Homemade dressing: You need orange marmalade, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce and fresh lime juice for this dressing. It’s perfectly hot and sweet.

Make it vegetarian: If you would like to make this recipe vegetarian, skip the shrimp and use tofu. We have an amazing pan fried tofu recipe 😀
Make it spicier: Top this salad with sriracha or chili crunch for a spicier taste.
Top Tips
Don’t overcook the vermicelli noodles. Because they are a very thin noodle made from rice, if overcooked they will be quite mushy.
Make sure you toss the salad well when you add the dressing. Vermicelli noodles are made from rice, and will soak up a lot of the dressing, which not only infuses the noodles with the delicious flavor of the dressing, but it also ensures your dressing doesn’t sink to the bottom of your serving bowl and get left behind.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Keep the wonton strips separate until serving to maintain freshness.
