Equipment
- grater or shredder most food processors have a shredder disk
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked sweet potato glass noodles 8-12 oz uncooked
- 2 cups creamy cashew dressing substitute favorite peanut sauce mixed with water
- 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrots shredded
- 2 cups bell peppers thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 4 tablespoons basil chopped
- 4 tablespoons mint chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Thai cashew or peanut dressing: make homemade cashew dressing or buy a Thai peanut sauce. If the store-bought sauce is thick, whisk or blend it with water until it's the consistency of a creamy dressing.
- Prepare glass noodles: cook glass noodles according to their package directions. I like to boil water and then let the glass noodles soak in the hot water until soft.
- Assemble: combine all ingredients! If making individual servings each will have 1 cup glass noodles, ½ cup dressing, ¼ cup shredded cabbage, ¼ cup shredded carrots, ½ cup sliced bell peppers and 1 tablespoon of each herb.
Notes
- Sweet potato glass noodle substitutes - cellophane noodles or glass / vermicelli noodles.
- Want to add more protein? I usually all grilled shrimp or chicken.
- The glass noodles dry out easily so if they are being stored in the fridge after cooking make sure they are covered in the dressing or add some water. You may also need to add a tablespoon of water before eating them if the noodles absorbed some of the moisture from the dressing.
- Hot or cold? It's recommended to eat this salad cold but it can easily be made hot by sautéing the cabbage, carrots and bell peppers before adding the noodles and dressing to the pan before serving. Top with fresh herbs once plated.
- Storage: store for 3-5 days in the fridge in an air-tight container.
