Cool noodle salads
Make a summer lunch out of a fresh and lively Asian salad
Naturally low in fat and compatible with a world of flavors, noodles lend themselves to healthy eating. Asians seem to have hit on this a long time ago, because in many Eastern cultures, long noodles symbolize long life. That’s why it’s traditional to eat them uncut.
But if you’re a novice Asian noodle eater and have trouble handling the long, slightly slippery tangles with chopsticks, don’t be afraid to grab a fork.
Noodle salads have crossed over from Asian menus to mainstream deli cases, with an amazing variety of ingredients. Our fresh-tasting versions are satisfying without being heavy. Keep some bean threads and rice and wheat noodles in your cupboard, ready to turn into these great cold main dishes.
