Have you ever had a Banh Mi sandwich? It’s so delicious so even if you haven’t you may just fall in love with this delicious salad!
Two great things about a Banh Mi is the pickled veggies and the sauce if you ask me.
Typically there is a protein involved, so feel free to add some pork or chicken to this dish as well.
Now the sauce is so quick and easy.
And don’t forget the fresh cilantro!
As you can see there are many items in this dish that will win you over.
This is my go-to item to enjoy for lunch, bring to the beach, and make for dinner on those hot summer nights. I usually have cooked chicken in the fridge so adding some makes it a great dinner.

I prepped this out the day ahead and mixed it with the sauce in the morning so the veggies were nice and crisp upon serving.

The item in the round white container is cooked quinoa, as mentioned in the post, I purchased cooked quinoa it’s in a 1 cup serving. It makes it easy and saves time and doesn’t require any cooking, but you can also make the quinoa yourself if desired.
