Salad
Nộm hoa chuối is a traditional Vietnamese salad made from banana blossom. It is crunchy and refreshing and often served with fresh herbs, peanuts and a spicy dressing.
Ingredients

For the dressing:
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 red chili, seeded and finely chopped
Instructions

- Take the banana blossom out of the water, drain well and mix with the prepared vegetables in a large bowl.
- Add the cilantro and mint.
- For the dressing, stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved.

- Sprinkle the salad with the chopped peanuts and fried shallots.
- Let it sit for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can develop.
