Ingredients
 

Spring Roll Salad

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 3 cups red cabbage shredded (about half a small head)
  • 3 cups romaine lettuce shredded (about 1 large head)
  • 3 cups shelled edamame
  • 1 English cucumber julienned or cut into thin matchsticks
  • 2 medium carrots julienned or cut into thin matchsticks
  • 1 cup fresh basil chopped
  • ½ bunch green onions finely chopped

Peanut Dressing

  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos also work)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated or finely minced (about 2 inches of ginger)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sriracha (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water and drain. Set aside.
  • Chop all of the veggies and add them to a large bowl. Add in the prepared rice noodles. Toss to combine and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the dressing and stir or whisk until smooth. Add a splash of water to thin as necessary. Adjust sriracha to taste, depending on how spicy you like it.
  • Serve salad with dressing and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Store the dressing separately in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. The dressing may thicken in the fridge — simply stir in a splash of water or rice vinegar to bring it back to a pourable consistency.
