crispy rice herb salad
If you’re gonna have tri-tip lying around, in my opinion, the best possible vehicle on which to eat it, is atop a crispy rice salad.
And not just any crispy rice salad, one that’s jam packed with herbs, pickled mushrooms, cucumbers, avocado, peanuts, scallions, shallots, and tossed with nuoc cham dressing. Let me just tell you, this makes the perfect dinner or leftover lunch.
