28 Apr Rainbow Noodle Salad with Soy Tahini Dressing
Living in Arizona, I feel like allergy season is every season that it is not “the surface of the sun” hot. And for whatever reason (probably the massive amounts of rain we got this “winter”) my allergies are so bad right now. Sinus, eyes, throat and even a horrible cough, is making me curse these “cooler” temperatures and wistfully awaiting the arrival of 100 degree days. They will be here soon enough.
I am sure I have stated this before, but living on the surface of the sun means I consume a lot of salads throughout the year. Big, leafy green salads with as much fresh produce as I can jam into a bowl! All those spring and summer veggies have super high water contents, and theres no need for a stove top, oven or grill, so no added heat is required, salads are really the most refreshing choice for warm, er HOT, weather. This little salad comes together pretty quickly; I made them in 4 separate to go containers, storing the dressing separately, and VIOLA! lunch for the week was done.
As always, any non-vegetarian followers, grilled salmon or chicken atop this salad would be amazing, but not necessary. Let me know how well your families liked it!
