Here is the recipe for the Vermicelli Noodle Salad that went with the Asian Wraps we posted last week. It was adapted from Guy Fieri’s Dang Cold Asian Noodle Salad.
This salad is great extra cold and on its own as a light meal on a hot day, though we did put it inside our wraps when we were starving. This is another make-at-home meal that will thrill you to have out of the way so you can focus on the things your trip is really about. Running, hiking, surfing, kayaking…Get out there and get hungry!

- In a medium bowl combine, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, hot chili oil, hoisin and extra-virgin olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Taste and add sugar if you want the dressing to be sweeter.

Sounds delicious and easy to make! Not a fan of soy or olive sauce, but I guess that can be left out since there are plenty of other ingredients
