DRESSING
REMAINING INGREDIENTS
6 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE
The intense peanut flavor of the dressing makes this salad extremely satisfying. You can make a triple batch of the dressing and keep it in the refrigerator in a glass jar. Shake well before using.
Dressing: In medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Set aside.
Bring large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add snow peas and cook for 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, remove to colander. Rinse under cold water and drain. Add noodles to boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain, reserving about ½ cup of cooking liquid. Pat snow peas dry with paper towels. Cut into thirds on diagonal.
In large serving bowl, combine noodles and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Add snow peas, ½ cup of dressing, coleslaw, radishes, tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts and onion. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
