A breezy dish on a lazy afternoon , the noodles salad was also a good way of including the leafy chinese cabbage that was sitting in my fridge.Coming home after school, my daughter was delighted that i made noodles and she did not mind the greens present in the dish !
I created a mini picnic style buzz in the verandah where she happily wolfed down the noodles washing it away with a Lemon-Ginger Cooler !
What goes in :- (Source: Nigella Lawson)
To the Dressing – (adjust the quantity to taste)
- Olive Oil – 2 tbsp
- Sesame Oil – 1 tbsp
- Lemon Juice – 1 lemon fully squeezed
- Soy Sauce – 1 tbsp
- Tomato Sauce – a few drizzles
- Peanut Butter – 2 tbsp
To the Salad
- Noodles – 200 gms
- Coriander Leaves – fistful (finely chopped)
- Celery leaves – a few snips from the stalks (finely chopped)
- Chinese Cabbage – 2 leaves (thinly sliced)
- Red Onions – 1 (diced- u can also use scallion)
- Sesame Seeds – a generous sprinkling
- Green Bell Pepper – 1 (julienned) – add red or yellow to make it a rainbow platter
How:-
A look at my cluttered workplace–
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and whisk it thoroughly. Let it rest for a while and the flavours blend !
Cook the noodles as per instruction on the pack. Drain the water, add little oil and fluff the noodles with fork and let it cool for a while.
Toss the noodles with the chopped veggies and greens. Dribble in the salad dressing
Sprinkle sesame seeds all over. Mix well and serve !
The crunchiness of the sesame seeds and the subtle but persistent flavour of the peanut butter added a whole new zing to the salad . It was filling and thoroughly enjoyed !
Enjoy !
