AKA peanut butter salad :)The first few times I made this I hadn't yet figured out the trick of when and how to mix in the peanut butter resulting in lumps of peanut butter in the salad. My family fondly calls this salad peanut butter salad thanks to those few times I made that mistake ;)

A cool dish for a hot day

Heavenly and healthy! My favorite cucumber salad! All the taste of a traditional Thai peanut sauce without the nuts!

The cellophane noodle salad I once had at a Thai restaurant was so delicious that I couldn't forget it. So I tried re-creating it at home. I left out the fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, which I don't like, and I think it came out pretty well. Sooo delicious!You don't have to have all the ingredients listed here. To make the salad look colorful and appetizing, it's a good idea to include both green and red ingredients. I recommend adding red and yellow bell peppers too.If you add in raw sweet onions instead of the regular onions here, you'll be able to enjoy their crispy texture. For an easy to make amount (3 to 4 servings). Recipe by yaburie.

My doctor was mad at me because I gained a few pounds, instead of losing a lot of pounds. So I am trying some new, healthy recipes out. A Vietnamese sandwich place had this, only one near us, but it is underwhelming, to say the least. So I decided to try it. Boy am I glad I did.This is typically served at room temp. This turned out so good, and my blood sugar was good the next morning, a real win in my book. I love the freshness of this, and the flavors. This is more geared to come close to the real thing, but using ingredients easy to find in American stores. I like it spicier, so I did drizzle some hot sauce on my bowl. The wife liked it just this way with only the Vietnamese sauce I made here.There are a lot of steps, but you will find most only take a few minutes. And if you combine some steps, like blanch your veggies in the boiling water, remove them and then add the noodles, you can save a bunch of time.

Quick, light, and healthy meal for warmer days

This is the best most refreshing pasta salad ever. Nice and simple too!
