Fresh Herbs are essential to the taste of the salad. I use two different kinds of herbs and “onions” here and they are Coriander, Mint Leaves, Shallots and Green Onions. These 4 together have created an extraordinary flavor.

Notes
- You are always welcome to cook your own fresh Salmon Fillets and add them to your salad.
- If you find the Glass Noodles are too long to mix together, you can use kitchen scissors to cut them shorter. This is a personal preference.
- I love a bit of the spicy kick with the Chili Flakes. If you do not want it to be spicy, you can skip it or reduce the amount of Chili Flakes.
