Tips
- A strip slicer or julienne slicer makes it easy to shred carrot and cucumber into thin strips. You’ll find them at specialty kitchen shops and online.
- For authentic Vietnamese flavour, replace regular mint with Vietnamese mint. Available from Asian grocery stores.
- Any leftover salad will keep in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
