Vietnamese Salad Recipes

Vietnamese salads are in a category of their own. Better known as gỏi, the Vietnamese style of salad is not so much defined by the ingredients as it is its elements: crunchy julienned vegetables and or sometimes fruit, thinly sliced meat, fresh herbs and chili paired with chopped peanuts, rice cracker and fish sauce.

Typically paired with rich, deep-fried mains, Vietnamese salad provides the fresh and tangy counterpoint to balance out a meal or spread. Gỏi comes together quickly for an easy side to give your next meal some distinctive Vietnamese flair.
