Asian Noodle Salad #ImprovCookingChallenge

This easy peasy pasta salad with a peanut butter and ginger dressing is a perfect side dish for serving at a potluck or a wonderful meatless entree.

It is my offering with Peanuts and Ginger for our Improv Cooking Challenge......

Nichole of Cookaholic Wife invites us each month to join her in making a recipe that includes 2 ingredients of her choice.  This month's ingredients are ginger and peanuts.  YUM!!

Peanuts and ginger are a perfect marriage as proven by Asian Cuisine.  It is a combination that shows up here quite often.  Have tons of zucchini still?  Make some Zoodles in Peanut Sauce.  Fall is coming and this Pork and Cabbage Stir Fry is flavorful and delicious.  Going meatless?  This Vegetable Pad Thai has you covered.  Fish Friday?  How about some Kung Pao Shrimp?

I am anxious to see what the others are sharing and add them to my repertoire.  Let's take a look......

 Improv Cooking Challenge: September 2021

Peanuts and Ginger

•  Asian Noodle Salad by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Kung Pao Chicken by Palatable Pastime
• Quinoa Dosa with Peanut Coconut Chutney by Sneha's Recipe
• Minty Tomato Peanut Chutney by Magical Ingredients
• Haitian Tablet Pistach by Pandemonium Noshery

This Asian Noodle Salad makes a great Vegetarian Main Course or can be used as a side dish.  My son in law does not eat meat so I always try to have a side that will work as a main when he is over. In this instance I served it along with some Pork Satay that the rest of us enjoyed.

Whatever you decide to make with Peanuts and Ginger it will be a welcome addition to your menu.  Enjoy!
