Spicy Peanut Asian Noodle Salad
I really enjoy a spicy peanut vinaigrette I recently picked up from Trader Joe’s–it’s super flavorful. I had a bit of the dressing left in the bottle, so I decided to make my Asian Noodle Salad using the spicy peanut vinaigrette instead of my usual vinaigrette. It turned out excellent! It was spicy and so delicious with the crunchy nuts, veggies, and soft noodles. My entire family really, really loved this salad, and it paired nicely with sweet chili soy pork chops and avocado cucumber salad.
