Peanut Noodle Salad [Glass Noodle Salad]
Description
The salad begins with cooking glass noodles according to package directions until tender. Meanwhile, a tamari lime peanut dressing is made by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, peanut butter, lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, fresh ginger, and garlic. This dressing provides a savory, tangy, and nutty flavor profile.
The noodles are combined with shredded cabbage, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, cooked edamame, shredded carrots, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, and chopped unsalted peanuts. Half the dressing is added first to coat the vegetables, then the noodles, followed by the remaining dressing. The salad can be garnished with crushed red pepper flakes, lime wedges, green onion, and sesame seeds.
The blend of fresh vegetables contributes crispness, while the glass noodles add softness. The peanut dressing ties all flavors together with its creamy consistency and balanced acidity and spice. This salad can be enjoyed immediately or chilled before serving.
