Vibrant Thai Salad Recipe

Thai-Inspired Peanut Noodle Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together the flavors of Thailand in a refreshing and satisfying salad. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or a flavorful side dish at dinner. The combination of tangy lime, spicy sriracha, creamy peanut butter, and fresh vegetables creates a symphony of taste that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

• rice noodles
• red bell pepper
• cucumber
• carrot
• green onions
• cilantro
• peanuts
• lime
• peanut butter
• soy sauce
• sriracha sauce

Kitchen Tools:

• pot
• colander
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• knife
• cutting board

Start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, and the juice of the lime to create a flavorful dressing.

Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing the red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot. Chop the green onions and cilantro, and crush the peanuts. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, sliced vegetables, and chopped herbs. Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.

To serve, divide the Thai-inspired peanut noodle salad into bowls and sprinkle the crushed peanuts on top for added crunch. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can also refrigerate it for a few hours to let the flavors meld together even more.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings with each serving amounting to around 300 grams. Each serving is estimated to be around 350 calories.

One tip to enhance the flavors of this salad is to add a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving for an extra nutty taste and texture. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables or protein choices to make it your own!
