Delicious Thai Noodle Salad Recipe with Fresh Ingredients

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 8 oz rice noodles (or any preferred noodles)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup peanuts, crushed (for topping)
  • 1 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Cook the Noodles

    In a pot of boiling water, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until tender.

    Rinse with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process.
  2. Prepare Vegetables

    While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables by shredding the carrots and slicing the cucumber and bell pepper.

    Use a julienne peeler for the carrots for a finer texture.
  3. Mix Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and red pepper flakes.

    Adjust the sweetness and spice according to your taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, cilantro, and green onions.

    Ensure the noodles are cooled to prevent wilting the veggies.
  5. Add Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and toss gently to combine.

    Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Serve

    Top with crushed peanuts if desired and serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving.

    Garnish with extra cilantro for presentation.
