Health at the Heart of Our Diet Plan

The Ultimate Thai Noodle Salad fits perfectly into this plan as it incorporates a beautiful mix of vegetables, protein-packed peanut sauce, and gluten-free soba noodles, which adhere to the principles of the Silver Fork Gluten Free approach.

Unpacking the Nutritional Benefits

Power-Packed Veggies

Our Ultimate Thai Noodle Salad is an ode to vibrant vegetables, each contributing its unique nutritional profile. The red cabbage is rich in vitamin C and K, supporting immune health and promoting bone health. Carrots, packed with beta-carotene, support vision and skin health, while radishes bring in a good dose of fiber, aiding digestion.

Gluten-Free Soba Noodles

The soba noodles in our salad are gluten-free, making them a fantastic choice for those following a gluten-free lifestyle, whether by choice or due to conditions like Celiac disease. But these aren't ordinary noodles; they're packed with proteins and fibers, promoting a feeling of satiety and aiding in better digestion.

The Magic of the Exceptional Peanut Sauce

The Exceptional Peanut Sauce isn't merely about lending a mouthwatering flavor. It's about infusing your body with nutrients that help you thrive. The peanut butter serves as an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, which are essential for heart health. The presence of fresh orange and lime juice adds a vitamin C boost, while the garlic and ginger have potent anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients
  • 6 oz gluten-free soba noodles
  • 4 cup mixed shredded red cabbage, carrots, and radish
  • 1 red bell pepper (finely sliced)
  • 3 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro (chopped (can substitute with basil or mint for a different flavor profile))
  • 1 tbsp jalapeño (finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference))
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts (crushed for garnish)
  • For the Exceptional Peanut Sauce:
  • 5 thin slices ginger (fresh and cut across the grain)
  • 2 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter ((or almond butter for a nuttier taste))
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice ((approximately 1 large orange))
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice ((approximately 2 limes))
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1-1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper ((adjust according to your spice preference))
  • 1 tsp teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
  1. Cook the gluten-free soba noodles as per package instructions. Once cooked, drain and run them under cold water to chill.

  2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the Exceptional Peanut Sauce. In a blender, combine all the sauce ingredients and blend until you get a smooth consistency.

  3. In a large serving bowl, combine shredded veggies, bell pepper, scallions, cilantro, and jalapeño. Toss them well.

  4. Add the cooled noodles to the veggie mixture. Pour your homemade peanut sauce over the top, and toss the salad until everything is well coated. You might not need all the sauce; save any leftover for future use.

  5. Taste the salad and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. You may want to add more salt, cayenne pepper, or lime juice.

  6. Serve the salad and garnish with the crushed roasted peanuts and extra cilantro. You can also add a lime wedge for an extra citrusy kick.
