																							Ingredients
Cashew Carrot Ginger Sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Pacific Foods Organic Cashew Carrot Ginger Soup
 - 2 tablespoons cashew butter
 - 2 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce
 - 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger
 - 1 teaspoon grated garlic
 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
 
Salad Ingredients
- 8 ounces brown rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
 - 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
 - 1/2 cup thinly sliced English cucumber
 - 1/2 of a red bell pepper sliced thin
 - 2 carrots shredded
 - 2 green onions sliced thin
 - 1/2 cup shelled edamame
 - 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
 
Instructions
- In a medium sized sauce pan stir together the ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a low boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to about 1 cup. Stir occasionally. Once reduced, strain the sauce and cool to room temperature.
 - Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, drain them and rinse under cold water. Add the noodles to a large serving bowl and toss them with the sesame oil.
 - Add all of the vegetables in with the noodles and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together. Top the salad with chopped cashews just before serving.

																Notes
- If you plan to make the salad ahead of time and serve it cold only toss with half of the sauce. Just before serving toss with the remaining sauce. The noodles will soak up a lot of the sauce the longer it sits.
