Frequently Asked Questions About Vermicelli salad
How do you make vermicelli salad?
Vermicelli salad is made by cooking thin vermicelli, draining and cooling it, then tossing it with chopped vegetables and herbs. Dress it with lemon juice and olive oil. Follow the pasta’s cooking directions and drain it promptly to keep the noodles from turning mushy.
What ingredients go in vermicelli salad?
Vermicelli salad commonly includes cucumber, bell pepper, fresh herbs and sometimes corn or chopped tomato. Add vegetables only after the cooked noodles have cooled, so delicate herbs stay fresh and crisp. The combination can be adjusted to suit the meal.
Can you make vermicelli salad with rice vermicelli?
Yes, you can make vermicelli salad with rice vermicelli, but it will have a different texture from the thin wheat pasta used in this version. Cook the rice noodles according to their package directions, since they soften differently from wheat vermicelli.
What dressing is best for vermicelli salad?
A lemon-and-olive-oil dressing works well with vermicelli salad because it complements fresh vegetables without weighing them down. Toss the noodles with a little dressing first, then add more to taste so the salad does not become soggy.
How do you stop vermicelli salad from getting soggy?
To keep vermicelli salad from getting soggy, avoid overcooking the noodles and drain them as soon as they are tender. Let them cool before mixing in the vegetables, and add the dressing shortly before serving if you want the crispest texture.
Is vermicelli salad served cold or warm?
Vermicelli salad is usually served cold or at room temperature. Cool the cooked noodles before adding fresh vegetables and herbs; serving it chilled also gives the dressing time to coat the ingredients evenly.
Can you make vermicelli salad the day before?
Yes, vermicelli salad can be prepared a day ahead. Store the cooled noodles and chopped vegetables in a covered container in the refrigerator, then add delicate herbs and dressing closer to serving to preserve their freshness.
How long does vermicelli salad last in the fridge?
Vermicelli salad keeps for about two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. If it contains a mayonnaise- or yogurt-based dressing, refrigerate it promptly and take out only the portion you plan to serve.
What can you serve with vermicelli salad?
Vermicelli salad pairs well with grilled chicken, kebabs or other grilled dishes, and it also fits into a spread of cold side dishes. Its fresh vegetables and tangy dressing complement richer mains without competing with them.
Is vermicelli salad a good option for a light lunch?
Yes, vermicelli salad can make a light lunch, especially when you add a filling ingredient such as chickpeas, egg or grilled chicken. Without an added protein, it works well as a side rather than a particularly filling standalone meal.

What is Vermicelli salad?
Vermicelli salad is a Turkish-style dish of cooked, cooled thin noodles tossed with fresh vegetables and herbs. Recipes vary from household to household, and lemon and a little oil are common ways to bring the ingredients together.
Served cold, it pairs the soft, mild noodles with crisp, refreshing vegetables. In Turkey it may appear as a meze, a side dish alongside a main course, or part of a picnic spread. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates, while the vegetables contribute some fibre. For a lighter bowl, add plenty of vegetables and keep the dressing modest.
