Absolutely delicious. I had a leftover mix of thinly sliced green and red cabbage with julienned carrots, added the noodles, chopped roasted peanuts and fried shallots. I’ll be making many versions of this salad! I love the dressing is so flavorful but light, as I didn’t want to drown my delicate noodles in a nut butter based dressing. Thank you!Reply
