Ingredients

  • Salad Ingredients
  • Peanut Dressing
  • Garnish

Directions

  1. Peanut sauce:
    Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and combined. Taste to see if it needs more salt, sugar, or lime juice. Set aside while preparing ingredients for salad.
  2. Salad:
    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and stir until the pot come back to a boil. Cook noodles until just soft to the tooth (the timing will depend on the type of noodles you have). Drain and immediately cool the noodles under cold running water. Shake to remove excess liquid.
  3. Shred or thinly slice all the vegetables.  Cook and cool the edamame. Chop the cilantro.
  4. In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients and add all the peanut sauce. Use a pair of tongs or your hands to combine everything well. Serve immediately, topping each portion with chopped peanuts.

 

Variations

    You have to make this - the best peanut dressing/sauce recipe yet!!! It was easy to make. It pairs very well with the Green Curry Pork Tenderloin. This also would make a great dipping sauce with satay, etc. This is the fourth "Heidi Fink" recipe I have made in the past month and I am becoming a huge Heidi fan. This one will definitely make my Top 10 new recipes for 2023. I cannot wait to try more of your recipes Heidi. Thank you.
