Rice Noodle Salad

Recipe Image

Many people think of pasta salads made with wheat noodles. Asian rice noodles have a similar texture and can be made into lively salads as well. The noodles absorb the dressing, so it is best to pour the dressing over the salad just before serving.

1 1/2 cups (300g) chopped tomatoes

1 cup (200g) baby corn, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces

1 cup (200g) fresh broccoli, chopped

2 cups (400g) fresh spinach, torn into 1-inch pieces

1 Tbs (15mL) sesame oil

1/4 cup (60mL) unseasoned rice vinegar

1 tsp (3g) grated fresh ginger

Directions

Combine all dressing ingredients and stir well, or place in a covered container and shake well to mix. Pour dressing over salad just before serving and toss well.
