Asian Noodle Salad with Edamame! Rice noodles mixed with fresh lettuce, carrots, fried tofu and edamame, with a miso sesame ginger dressing! So delicious and refreshing! I hope you try it!
I love easy, light and delicious meals. This Asian noodle salad with edamame can also be prepped in advance and works great for easy lunch and dinners for the week! If you watched my video on TikTok, I think this noodle salad would work great with soba noodles as well. The most important addition in my opinion is the dressing. Pour as little or as much as you want. Add some pan fried tofu, grilled chicken or steak. Any protein will work!
I love dishes that incorporate noodles and fresh vegetables. You can really add any fresh vegetables you like: cucumbers, shredded cabbage, fresh spinach, Bibb lettuce instead of romaine. I hope you give this a try! I was thinking of putting all of these ingredients into rice paper and making spring rolls. The possibilities are endless!
Asian Noodle Salad with Edamame
To save time, have your dressing made, your protein cooked and your vegetables cut and chopped. Keep all of your ingredients prepped and in the fridge. I like to make the rice noodles the day of, but you can also cook these in advance too! Grab some edamame too and give this a try!
