I love Asian flavors and this recipe is one that I will definitely be making again! It's very easy to make and packs a flavorful punch. Can't wait to try this again ... I may add some meat or shrimp.

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 oz linguini, I use Dreamfields low carb
8 oz fresh sugar snap peas
2 c celery, thinly sliced
1 c red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 c scallions, sliced
DRESSING
1/4 c rice wine vinegar
1/4 c low sodium soy sauce
1-1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp spicy (chili) toasted sesame oil
2 tsp peeled fresh ginger, grated
1 large garlic clove, grated
1/2 tsp sugar
1 fresno chile seeded and finely chopped (optional)
GARNISHES- USE ANY OR ALL
chopped cilantro
dry roasted peanuts chopped
crushed black pepper
toasted sesame seeds or toasted almonds
bean sprouts

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Add the sugar snap peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place cooled pasta/snap pea mixture in a large bowl, stir in the celery, red pepper, and scallions.
  • 2. To make the dressing, I put all ingredients into a small jar and shake to combine. Pour dressing over pasta/veggie mix, stir and refrigerate for a half hour or so. Garnish with some or all of suggested condiments.
  • 3. I sometimes serve this as a side with grilled meat, but also love to stuff lettuce leaves with this salad and enjoy it as a roll-up appetizer. Plus, any vegetables you like should work in this recipe. Try green beans, broccoli, or carrots. You can also add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing and make it a very kid friendly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bag of frozen peas and carrots in my freezer, so this salad is a quick and easy way to get a healthy meal on the table.
