This is a refreshing  Rice Noodle Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing that’s big on flavor and very simple to toss together!

I recently made a batch of my go to Peanut Sauce to dunk some veggie spring rolls in.  Yum!  I  decided to use some of the remaining sauce in a salad.  I had some random vegetables, lettuce, cabbage, and herbs in the refrigerator and threw together this delicious salad. The flavor combination is fantastic… I especially love the combination of mint, basil and cilantro!  You could use any Asian type noodle you like, I decided to use up some thin rice noodles today.

I think you’ll enjoy this Rice Noodle Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing. It’s so fresh and delicious… perfect salad for a warm summer day!
