Rainbow Noodle Salad
Health Benefits
I remembered when I was taking my Diet & Nutrition for Complementary Therapies course, my health trainer will emphasize on the importance of eating the rainbow. Simply because not only does it make the food more appealing, it also helps us get essential nutrients as different-colored plants have their individual specific nutrients and health benefits.Ingredients
100g rice noodles (Pad Thai or vermicelli)
¼ red cabbage (approx. 180g, thinly sliced)
¼ cucumber (approx. 80g, cut into matchsticks)
1 carrot (grated)
1 red bell pepper (seeds removed, cut into matchsticks)
4 spring onions (finely chopped)
1 bunch fresh coriander or parsley (approx. 20g, finely chopped)
For the dressing
4 tbsp peanut butter
6 tbsp tamari soy sauce
6 tbsp warm water
1 lime (juiced)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp ground ginger
Equipment
Instructions
Notes
You will only need a citrus juicer if you can’t squeeze the lime by hand. Alternatively, you can use store-bought lime juice - one lime equals about 4 tbsp of juice. If you can’t have peanuts, almond or cashew butter go great with this recipe. For a nut-free option, try it with sunflower seed butter or tahini. This recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as you use tamari soy sauce which is prepared without adding gluten. Alternatively, you can use liquid aminos which are naturally gluten-free. For the soy-free option, use liquid aminos instead of soy sauce.
