Peanut Noodle Salad

Ingredients

• •8 ounce rice vermicelli noodles
• •6 tbsp lime juice
• •3 tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium
• •3 tbsp peanut butter, creamy
• •3 tbsp dark brown sugar
• •3 tbsp vegetable oil
• •1 red bell pepper, small and thinly sliced
• •1/2 cup green onions
• •1/2 cup basil
• •1/2 cup cilantro
• •1/2 cup mint
• •kosher salt
• •1/3 cup roasted peanuts

Steps

1. 1Thinly slice the bell pepper and scallions. Roughly chop the basil, cilantro, mint, and peanuts.
2. 2Cook noodles according to package instructions. Transfer to a serving bowl.
3. 3Whisk the lime juice soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour the dressing over the noodles. (If possible, do this when the noodles are hot - it helps melt the peanut butter, which will still be chunky in the dressing.)
