Asian Noodle Salad
This Asian Noodle Salad is one of my favorite lunches to make. It feels like a splurge and it is absolutely guilt-free. This salad is packed with so many veggies and the dressing on this is so, so good.
My kids like to watch me make this salad because I end up trying to cram as many veggies into the bowl as I possibly can. Half my ingredients end up overflowing and spilling onto the counter . . . kind of like the way I make salads at a salad bar. I end up making salads that look like volcanos and it’s anyone’s guess how much I can add before everything starts spilling over the edge of my plate.
Salad bar employees love me . . .
Any meal that I can cram full of veggies is a win in my book so I try and make this salad whenever I can. This is right up there with my quinoa and cheese stuffed peppers as one of my favorite healthy meals.
