Ingredients

SALAD:

5 oz – 140 grams of brown rice noodles
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 medium carrot, julienned*
1 small cucumber, julienned – discard the seed core
2 Tbsp finely chopped chives
2 Tbsp toasted peanuts, chopped**
2 tsp black sesame seeds
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

PEANUT BUTTER DRESSING:

3 Tbsp peanut butter
3 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp coconut nectar or maple syrup
½ tsp garlic powder
½ - 1 tsp sriracha, optional

Instructions

Cook noodles according to instructions. I soak mine in hot water for 7 – 8 minutes.
In the meantime, prep the vegetables and make the peanut butter dressing.
To make the creamy dressing place all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined.
Once the noodles are done, place cooked noodles, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, chives, peanuts and sesame seeds in a big bowl. Add peanut butter dressing and gently toss to combine.
Season with salt and pepper and enjoy this wholesome bowl!

Notes

*I recommend investing in a julienne peeler if you don’t have one. They are cheap and they get the job done in a matter of minutes.
**If your peanuts are raw, place them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
