Thai noodle salad is always a crowd pleaser. It has lots of amazing textures and Thai inspired flavors you will love.
Thai Noodle Salad is loaded with bean sprouts, grated carrot and green onions so there is lots of amazing flavor and texture happening. If you like peanut butter you will love this salad. It doesn’t have a heavy peanut butter flavor, it’s just right. And I love the crunchy chopped peanuts and cilantro on top.
Everyone in my family loves this dish, and I think yours will too!

I’d love a copy of it if you ever write it down. We have a Greek Deli not far from us and I love their Greek Salad and would love to make it at home! Thanks for sharing!

My Mom and I seem to always bring a Greek Salad. Lettuce , red onions, peppercinnis, cuccumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and Greek Salad Dressing (We make it ourselves and I don’t think I’ve ever written the recipe out… maybe the next time I make it I will write it out and share it…) A Greek friend once told me it was the closest thing to authentic she had tasted… I figure out can’t get a better review than that..

Both of these salads sound great – can’t wait to try the chicken cashew curry rice salad – yum.
Melanie – I already printed off your Angel Hair Pasta Salad and it is in the To Try pile – Thanks!

I love great go-to meals for potluck situations. This looks delicious!! I love, love sesame oil and the flavor it brings. I have several go-to recipes but I just posted one of my favorites on my blog a few days ago – the Angel Hair Pasta Salad. Yum!

Well, it’s a toss-up for me. I am always asked to bring my spinach salad, which is of the savory variety with spinach, bacon, thinly red onions, mushrooms, sliced water chestnuts, and grated swiss cheese, topped off with a homemade poppyseed dressing. But for the last potluck I went to I rebelled against the trend and made a chicken cashew curry rice salad….my favorite. 🙂 It is simple: rice, chicken (diced), peas, chopped celery, cashews, green onion (chopped). The dressing is 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise, 1 T. curry powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, AND 1 1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Juice. At any rate…these are my two favorite salads to take to a potluck. They are always well received. 🙂
