Pea, Jicama, and Cashew Salad image

This is a recipe my boyfriend's mom gave to me. I like to add the ginger because it gives it a nice zest. It's great for potlucks and you can adjust the seasoning to your taste. The cashews and toasted noodles add a terrific crunch!

Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles (flavor packets saved for another use) broken into pieces
½ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
black pepper to taste
