After a low-calorie lunch option that’s full of flavour? 

This delicious, vegan-friendly peanut noodle salad is perfect to keep your weekly meal prep fresh. It’s a healthy recipe that takes less that 10 minutes to prepare, with minimal cooking required.  

The homemade satay-style dressing is an absolute taste sensation, so we wouldn’t blame you for doubling up on that part.

Serves 4  

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tsp. grated ginger
  • 4 tbsp. Powdered Peanut Butter
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1 tbsp. Sugar-Free Syrup (Maple)
  • 200 g wholewheat noodle (cooked)
  • ½ red cabbage (shredded)
  • 2 carrots (cut into strips)
  • To garnish: chopped spring onions & peanuts

Instructions

1.

First make the dressing by adding the soy sauce, lime juice, crushed garlic, grated ginger, powdered peanut butter, water, and Sugar-Free Syrup to a small bowl and stirring well to combine. Divide up into 4 small dressing containers and set aside.  

2.

Next, add the cooked & drained noodles to a large bowl along with the shredded red cabbage and finely chopped carrots. Mix together to evenly combine all 3 ingredients together – you may want to use tongs to help you do this rather than a spoon.  

3.

Divide the noodle mix between 4 containers and along with a pot of dressing in each. Garnish with chopped spring onions and peanuts for a finishing touch and then you’re good to go. Keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
