Bangkok Noodle Salad
Recipe from Leslie Forte
- 4 oz cappellini or other thin pasta
- 4 green onion, whites only, sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced or julienned

- 1/2 cup cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup cooked chicken, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- chopped peanuts to garnish

Dressing:
- 1/4 cup peanut butter, chunky style
- 2 tblsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tblsp rice wine vinegar

- Mix all ingredients for dressing in a small bowl until smooth.
- Break pasta in half and cook according to package directions, rinse with cold water and drain well.
- Toss with dressing in a large bowl and then add the carrots, cucumber, onion and chicken.
- Toss to combine.
- Refigerate for 1 hour before serving.
