Kale Sesame Noodle Salad
June 22, 2017
Cut the radish into thin quarter rounds.
Cook the pasta, rinse it, and toss it with all the ingredients. I had black and white sesame seeds on hand so I used both.
I use these super thick rice noodles for pasta salad called "poolee noodles" that I find at my local Asian market.
The vinegar and banana peppers give this a great tangy flavor. The thick rice noodles are so chewy and really make this salad satisfying.
Be sure to taste as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
