Thai Noodle Salad

You may have noticed that I’m on a pasta salad kick.

Honestly, pasta salad is where it’s at. It’s a perfect side for anything you’ve thrown on the grill, as it’s such a cool and fresh dish. And when it’s got a bit of zing, then I’m even happier.

I feel like pasta salad makes for the best leftovers… right out of the fridge… still in the bowl…

I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

The secret to this salad is the dressing. It’s soooo good.

And you know that I’ll put cilantro on anything that isn’t moving.

So I did.

Rice noodles are perfect in this salad, but they are a teensy bit awkward to toss. This is why I plated it with the noodles as a base, then added the dressed noodles. I love the way it looks… especially with the sesame seeds and cilantro as a garnish.

You can also use fettuccine noodles, if you want your salad to be a more traditional pasta salad.

But try the rice noodles… they’re so nice and light for a summer dinner.
