Boil the rice noodles according to the package instructions, usually 6 minutes, then drain, rinse in cold water, and let the excess water drain off.
Cut the cucumber into long julienne strips, finely grate the carrot, and chop the mint and optional cilantro.
Prepare the dressing by whisking the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, grated garlic, and salt until smooth.
Place the noodles, cucumber, carrot, mint, and cilantro in a wide bowl; drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently without crushing.
Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so the aroma settles, then check the taste one last time before serving.
💡 Tip: Rinse the noodles in cold water after boiling so they do not stick. Those who like heat can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or finely sliced Thai chili.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle roasted peanuts on top and serve at room temperature.
