Asian Noodle Salad



This salad is a meal by itself, balanced with a variety of colorful veggies, edamame, and whole-grain pasta. The sweet and slightly spicy peanut dressing pairs well with the mix of Asian-style veggies.  If you’re looking for an easy salad that’s entree-worthy and requires no cooking other than boiling noodles, add this recipe to your menu!
