Rainbow Veggie Noodle Salad

You can't actually catch a rainbow, but you can certainly eat one! This light and lively salad is loaded with fresh veggies that cover the spectrum! Tossed with some rice ramen noodles and a simple Asian-inspired dressing, it makes a satisfying, healthy lunch or dinner when served cold on a hot summer day. Try it as is or substitute/add your favorite vegetables for any listed, ie. edamame, kale, broccolini, bok choy, etc.

  3. Cook the rice ramen noodles according to package directions. Cool the noodles by running under cold water. Drain well.
  4. Chop the seaweed salad into rough pieces and add to the noodles with about 2-3 T of dressing to season the noodles. Toss to mix well.
  5. Divide the noodles equally into 4 shallow salad bowls, then arrange the next 10 ingredients (all the vegetables) equally around the noodles.
  6. Sprinkle each salad with the cilantro, mint, chile peppers and nuts. Add a lime wedge to the rim of each bowl. 
  7. Drizzle dressing over the salads and mix gently to distribute. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 20-30 minutes if desired, or eat once assembled.
  8. Sprinkle the salad with a squeeze of lime and enjoy.
