Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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

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.
