Vegan noodle salad

Vegan noodle salad

This crunchy, healthy little number is a perfect summer dish which can also be sautéed in a pan and served warm if raw doesn’t tickle your fancy. It’s fresh and citrusy with a bit of heat from the chilli. It makes a great light lunch or side salad. It’s also a good tucked inside a wrap or pitta bread.

If you’re not a fan of rice noodles or you wanted a raw salad you can replace with spiralized veggies or super nutritious kelp noodles.
