Provided by Erin Renouf Mylroie

Categories     Pasta     Side     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Back to School     Peanut     Pea     Bell Pepper     Summer     Bon Appétit     California     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound linguine, broken in half
4 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 red bell peppers, seeded, thinly sliced
3 cups snow peas
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain very well. Transfer to large bowl.
  • Whisk 3 tablespoons sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne pepper in small bowl to blend. Season with salt. Mix half of dressing into pasta. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, peas and onion and sauté until just beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables to pasta. Mix in peanuts, basil and enough dressing to coat. Serve, passing any remaining dressing separately.

Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables in Advance: Save time by chopping and slicing the vegetables in advance. This will make assembly a breeze.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients make all the difference in this salad. Look for crisp vegetables, flavorful herbs, and a good-quality olive oil.
  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Cool the Pasta Before Adding It to the Salad: This will prevent the pasta from absorbing too much of the dressing and becoming soggy.
  • Use a Light Hand with the Dressing: A little dressing goes a long way in this salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Serve the Salad at Room Temperature: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to reach its full potential.

Conclusion:

This Asian summer pasta salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a hot day. It is packed with fresh vegetables, herbs, and Asian-inspired flavors. The salad is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy summer meal, give this Asian summer pasta salad a try.
