This is a cold chopped spring roll salad FULL of vibrant rainbow veggies, shrimp (or chicken), and a zippy ginger lime dressing.
This could be a light stand-alone meal on its own, it's a healthy protein-filled salad with a tart Asian-inspired ginger vinaigrette and the prettiest colors from the veggies. This is more of a veggie slaw, since there isn't actually lettuce in the salad. It actually is BETTER the next day when all of the flavors blend and soak into the veggies!
Vibrant salads are a love of mine, another favorite is Golden Beet Salad with Balsamic Miso Dressing, also with lots of beautiful colors and veggies.
This recipe was tested with several veggie combinations, with and without different lettuce types, pre-cooked shrimp, rice noodles, and different dressings like a Thai peanut dressing and a spicy version, and THIS was the best one. Its crunch and texture held up after a day or two of refrigeration, has a light and fresh dressing, and the shrimp is definitely a must.
