This salad combines crunchy mung beans with lime juice, garlic, chili, and a touch of sugar for a balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavours. Tossed with herbs like mint, basil and coriander, this salad is fresh and perfect as a side dish or a light meal. The beautiful dressing, known as nước mắm pha is an easy and delightful arrangement of flavours.
