    This is my kind of meal. Fresh, quick (just 30-minutes required!), satisfying, lots of veggies and tons of flavor!

    It's kinda a dream lunch/side-dish situation come true.

    Buuut.. this Asian Noodle Salad is more than just delicious, fork twirling noodles. This recipe is all about the homemade limey-sesame-soy sauce that's super easy and ready to go with just your regular pantry ingredients. Plus, there's an assortment of colorful veggies and a handful of crunchy salty peanuts tossed in for good measure.

    I'm in love with this recipe on many different levels.

    1. It's sneaky easy. 15 minutes start to finish.
    2. Pantry ingredients. Mostly. The only exception is the liquid aminos which you could swap for soy sauce.. no prob.
    3. It uses all the leftover things. Think of this as a clean-out-the-fridge type recipe. Use what you've got, skip what you don't! Turn that ½ box of mushrooms, 2 sad carrots and green beans on the verge of wilting into something tasty and wonderful!
    4. It's pretty. I know judging something by appearance is shallow, but seriously.. who doesn't like beautiful, colorful, texture-full food?

    Time Saving Tips and Tricks:

    Prep:  Veggies can be pre-chopped and the sesame-soy sauce can be made prior to assembling this salad. Just like that.. 15 minutes prep becomes 10 minutes prep.

    Make Ahead: You can make this salad in advance, but it definitely tastes best fresh. When stored in the fridge the sauce thickens. To loosen it up, add a little bit of olive oil, sprinkle of rice vinegar and a splash of soy and mix noodles. Ready for round 2!

    Freezer: Sorry guys.. not this time.

    Helpful Hints:

    1.  Liquid amios can be purchased in most grocery stores in the health food section.
    2. Make sure to check the ingredients of your peanuts. No added sugar or funky ingredients is necessary. You are looking for peanuts and possibly salt?.
    3. To make carrot ribbons, use a vegetable peeler.
    4. Subbing whole-wheat spaghetti for the rice noodles works well.
    5. To make this recipe gluten-free sub liquid aminos for soy sauce.
    6. To make this recipe vegan sub agave nectar for honey.
