Refreshing, full of flavor and with a whole array of textures, this salad is bound to please even those who say they don’t like salads (blasphemy!) The salmon is cooked at 55C for 15 minutes and results in a silky smooth texture. When combined with the zingy Thai dressing, this recipe is a winner. Make sure you serve this salad immediately after dressing, otherwise the crunchy noodles will become soft.
