I am so excited about today's vegan Vietnamese Noodle Salad recipe! I can confirm it is absolutely delicious! Traditional Vietnamese noodle salad recipes contain fish sauce in them, so they are not vegan friendly. I often run into this problem with a lot of store bought sauces and dressing. This is why I love making my own sauces and dressings, because I can count on them being healthy and vegan! The only pre made (ish) sauce I buy from the store is curry, but I make sure to buy certified vegan curries. If your interested in more recipes like this one with healthy vegan sauces, here are some of my favorites:

Can I add extra protein to this salad?

Of course! This recipe is not a high protein vegan meal, but can easily be bulked up if you're looking for a more filling recipe. I always like to provide options with my recipes so they can be customized to your taste. If I were to add some plant based protein to this vegan Vietnamese Noodle Salad I would opt for a soy based protein such as edamame, tofu, or tempeh. I think that these protein options would really complement the flavors nicely.

Can I make this Vegan Vietnamese Noodle Salad raw vegan?

I am not a raw vegan, but I love creating raw recipes and providing options for how to make recipes raw vegan friendly. This recipe can easily be made raw vegan, and low calories with just one simple substitution. Simply replace the rice noodles in this recipe for kelp noodles! Kelp noodles are my recent obsession because they are truly a miracle food. Kelp noodles are made from: you guessed it, kelp! They are extremely low in calories and super filling. I love using them as a noodle substitute in recipes that I want to lighten up a bit!
