Thai Noodle Salad with the BEST EVER Peanut Sauce- loaded up with healthy veggies!
Vegan and Gluten-Free!
The other day I got a hankering for an old standby we used to have on the Mizuna menu, the vegetarian restaurant my friend Tonia and I started together way back when. Thai Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce. Here it’s made with rice noodles and a boatload of crunchy veggies- cabbage, carrots, bell pepper and radish, then tossed in the most flavorful, balanced peanut sauce eeeeeeeeeever.
Yes I may be biased – I’ve had many versions of peanut sauce, here and throughout Asia, but this peanut sauce is still hands-down my all-time very favorite! Not too sweet, perfectly balanced. The secret ingredient is fresh orange juice, giving it a delicious brightness. I highly recommend making a double batch of the peanut sauce to use with spring rolls or buddha bowls. If you are like me you will be eating it by the spoonful. It’s that good!
This Thai noodle salad is great made ahead, keeps well for 3-4 days -perfect for midweek meals and lunches. Top this with flavorful Sesame Ginger Tofu or chicken for added protein. So delicious!
