Layered Crunchy Noodle Salad
A Layered Crunchy Noodle Salad is a popular, easy-to-make dish that combines fresh and crunchy ingredients in layers. The salad typically includes a base of lettuce, cabbage, or other greens, topped with a mixture of crunchy elements such as fried noodles, nuts, or seeds. It often incorporates colorful vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and scallions. The salad is dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette or dressing, which may include ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. Some variations also include protein like chicken, tofu, or shrimp. The layers help create a textural contrast, offering a refreshing, satisfying meal.
