  Fantastic salad... I had it with the noodles warm and the rest cold. I used both the coriander and mint. Have lived in SE Asia for 7 years and this is pretty authentic. Will definitely be making again.

  I love these Vietnamese flavours in general, but I didn't find the dressing to be as full of flavour as I had hoped and the whole thing left me somewhat disappointed. I too had it with warm(ish) noodles and the other ingredients cold.

  Great fresh salad, and so nice to have on a hot day. My husband and I subtituted shrimp for prawns. I reviewed the recipe on my own blog at http://recipes-that-worked.blogspot.com/2010/07/recipe-that-has-really-worked-our.html
