Asian Noodle Salad

 "If God had intended us to follow recipes he wouldn't have given us grandmothers."  Linda Henley

Here's a little dish I put together because I had a few leftovers lurking around in my fridge.  Also, I had recently, on a whim, purchased some rice noodles that I wanted to use. 

I stared this dish by making Asian Dressing (August 18, 2011).   To review:

Ingredients:
  1 T Bragg Liquid Amino
  1 T agave nectar
  1 t Bragg apple cider vinegar
  1 1/2 t toasted sesame oil
  1 or more cloves garlic - this time I used roasted garlic (Jan 27 blog entry)
  Bit of grated ginger

Distructions:
  Whisk all together.

To this dressing I added:
  Red cabbage, sliced thin
  Small piece of red pepper, diced
  Kale, finely chopped
  Red onion, diced
  Rice noodles, cooked and drained

You'll notice that there are no amounts listed on the above ingredients.  That's because I was cleaning out the fridge. Also good in this dish might be canned green beans, cooked broccoli, snow peas, frozen peas, and/or sliced water chestnuts.

That's the nice thing about a tasty dressing.  It's a blessing when it comes to creating a new dish in just a few minutes.  And it's a great way for the fearless to clean out the fridge!
