Posted by Gabrielle in Cooking, Lunch/Dinner, Salads | 1 comment

Hello & Happy Friday!!

In keeping with the theme to create flavor and nutrient packed dishes this 2019, I’ve been stepping up my salad game! I personally can throw together some arugula or a cabbage mix, a lil onion, avocado, and my favorite dressing and be good to go. However, for many of us we hit a plateau and get bored with everyday salads.

That being said, it’s good to have more festive concepts to really keep your love for salads alive!! Cue the vegan Cold Thai Noodle Salad with my favorite spicy peanut dressing!!

What’s fab about this salad, is everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, veggie packed, you can toss in whatever protein you like, has texture, tons of flavor, slightly sweet with a lil heat, has aesthetic appeal, is perf for any season, great for entertaining, and can easily be made in bulk!

If you’re looking for a fun modern veggie packed salad, you have to try this vegan Cold Thai Noodle Salad with spicy peanut dressing!!

Why this recipe rocks:

A lil sweet, with a lil heat
