Thai Chicken Noodle Salad

Ooooh. This salad. It’s fresh and creamy and healthy but filling all at the same time. I love how the Asian flavors make food taste so fresh. I made it and slightly adapted it from my Our Best Bites cookbook. Love this recipe they created! I love all the veggies paired with some linguini and slathered in that Thai peanut sauce, it’s pretty amazing.

My son has a peanut allergy so I substituted almond butter for peanut butter (so good!) … THIS almond butter is the BEST consistency of any almond butter I’ve tried (dozens). It doesn’t need to be stirred, it’s really creamy, and the flavor is great. Also nothing added into it. Just almonds. Grab it on Amazon or at your grocery store! I also omitted the red onions because my husband doesn’t love them. My last change was to add more rice vinegar to the sauce. It adds a little more kick but add less if you’re not as into vinegars. I have an unhealthy obsession with pickled things.

Boil noodles, then strain and rinse with cold water. (If making noddles ahead, toss with 1/2 of the dressing and store in the fridge, to prevent from sticking.)
Toss noodles and veggies together and then toss with desired amount of dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
