Thai Noodle Salad

My journey to healthier lunches continues today with this salad. Packed with veggies, whole wheat pasta and a creamy peanut dressing, this salad if both filling and delicious.

Serves 6-8

1 pound whole wheat angel hair pasta,cooked and drained
1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 cup shredded carrots
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1 cup seedless cucumber, diced
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp sweet and spicy chili dipping sauce
juice of 2 limes
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp soy sauce
(If you can't find the dipping sauce, substitute chili,garlic paste and 2tbsp of sugar)

Put the pasta, bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, green onion, and bean sprouts in a large bowl. With a blender, blend together the peanut butter, water, soy sauce, chili dipping sauce and lime juice together. Pour over the noodles and veggies. Gently toss. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top of the salad and serve.
