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!

Good job! I’ll give you a hint for making it better… lime juice. You can add it last, or serve with lime wedges. Also, don’t fear the fish sauce! It will NOT make it fishy, it adds a ton of dept. Add a shake or two (teaspoon) to your sauce and cut your soy sauce by 1/3. You won’t be sorry… in fact you might increase the fish sauce to a tablespoon.
Leigh Anne says
Thanks for the tip – will definitely try the lime juice!

Leigh Anne —I made your Thai Noodle Salad for dinner this evening and my husband loved it. He can’t wait to have more for lunch tomorrow. I’m surprised there’s enough left over for his dream to come true. Thank you for a wonderful new recipe for me to add to my favorites.
Leigh Anne says
So glad you and your husband enjoyed it! It’s been a while since I made it – I think it’s time!

I made the Thai noodle Salad for a neighborhood potluck and it was delicious. It inspired me to make some more thai food. Thanks for sharing!

Leigh Anne – I made this for my family tonight for dinner. It was awesome. I loved that it had no meat in it because it is hard to do a main dish for my family without meat AND I could make it ahead of time. It reminded me of my favorite salad ever which is the Thai Crunch Chicken salad at California Pizza Kitchen. Thank you for sharing this one. Keep the yummy recipes coming.
