Ingredients

  • 1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup savoy cabbage shredded, or napa
  • 3 green onions diced
  • 1/3 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 large carrot julienned
  • 1/4 cup cashews toasted, chopped, for topping
  • 1/2 package ramen noodles crushed, for topping
for the dressing:
  • 2 cloves garlic fresh, finely minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger fresh, finely minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar or plain white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or any other light oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
  2. Cook spaghetti until al dente- you want it to be chewy, not soft and mushy. Drain pasta and toss with half of the prepared dressing while it is still warm. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl toss all vegetables together. Add in cooked spaghetti and mix. Pour in remaining dressing and toss to coat. At this point, it all should be luke warmish. It's really good like this, or you can refrigerate it until its cold.
  4. Once you're ready to eat, top the salad with crushed ramen and cashews.
