For the salad:
- Brown Rice Noodles, cooked according to package directions
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced in to matchsticks
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced in to matchsticks
- 1 small head Napa cabbage chopped
- 1 cup pea pods
- 1/2 red onion sliced thinly
- 1 cup Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- Fresh lime wedges, for serving
- Peanuts and toasted sesame seeds, for serving
For the dressing:
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Aminos (substitute soy sauce if necessary, see note)
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
Add rice noodles, red pepper, carrot, Napa Cabbage, pea pods, red onion, mint, basil, and cilantro to a large bowl.
Combine all dressing ingredients to a mason jar with a cap. Seal and shake thoroughly to combine.
Drizzle dressing over the salad, initially only adding half. Toss to mix, and add additional dressing to your liking.
Top with green onions, peanuts, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with fresh lime wedges. Enjoy!
Notes:
- If you ever substitute soy sauce for the Aminos called out in my recipes, I would first start be reducing the called for amount by half, and then adjust to your taste from there. I find soy sauce to have a more harsh, salty taste than Aminos.
