Cellophane-Noodle Salad image

Seedless cucumbers often have small seeds; remove them for this Asian-inspired Cellophane-Noodle Salad recipe. Do not rinse the noodles after cooking; it will make them stick.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 stalks celery, trimmed
4 carrots, peeled and trimmed
1 8.8 ounce bag cellophane noodles (available at gourmet supermarkets and Asian markets)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt

This salad is so versatile! You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein.
