This Cold Thai Noodle Salad with Green Curry Dressing is bursting with Umami flavours! It's so good you'll be licking your plate, and it's Vegan and easily Gluten free.
This Thai salad is a must for the Summer. I love all the different flavours, sweet, sour, citrusy, savoury, and slightly nutty.
It's all about the dressing folks and lemongrass and Thai green curry paste are the key ingredients in this recipe. I use Lemongrass paste, it's so easy to use, and you can freeze excess in ice cube trays? (curry paste too)
If you can't find lemongrass paste locally you can find it here, and Thai green curry paste here.
Moving on to veggies. The combination of carrots, cabbage, peppers and sprouts are so crunchy and satisfying in this Thai salad and pair so beautifully with the dressing .
Throw in the peanuts and mango at the end and wammo! you've got yourself a winner. Feel free to mix it up if you don't have an ingredient handy, like- cucumbers (seed them first), and or zucchini. Edamame is really good as well... you get the idea.
Now noodles. Anything goes! I like Spaghettini (whole wheat or reg), Pai Thai style rice noodles or soba noodles. There's so many choices! Don't overcook your noodles, remember al dente guys.
I like to mix the salad just before serving but it's delicious either way and tastes just as good the next day? Feel free to garnish plates with nuts and mangos or toss it all together, your choice. For full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card below.
