Thai Spring Roll Pasta Salad
My Thai Spring Roll Pasta Salad is like a deconstructed Vietnamese fresh spring roll, dressed with a delicious peanut sauce. So refreshing and tasty!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Spring roll salad:
- 2 cups cooked rice noodles cooked according to package instructions
- 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
- 1 cup romaine lettuce shredded
- 1 cup cucumber diced
- 1 cup carrots shredded
- ½ cup cilantro leaves chopped
- ½ cup mint leaves chopped
- 3 green onions thinly chopped
- 1 cup cooked bean sprouts optional
- 1 lb cooked shrimp chopped
- ⅓ cup peanuts chopped
Peanut dressing:
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon sriracha optional
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoon water to thin
Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, add rice noodles, cabbage and romaine lettuce. Top with cucumber, carrots, cilantro, mint, green onions, bean sprouts and shrimp.
- To make your dressing whisk together all ingredients until smooth (tip: if you are using a peanut butter that is on the harder side you can place the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 15-30 seconds to soften it. This makes it easier to whisk into the dressing!).
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, top with chopped peanuts and toss to combine.
Notes
To minimize chances of foodborne illness, I recommend cooking your bean sprouts. Rinse them well and place in a microwave safe bowl with a pinch of salt and covering with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 1 minute.
