Asian Noodle Salad
This is the bowl in the photo. Thin translucent noodles, shredded cabbage, carrot, cucumber, green onion, cilantro, crushed peanuts, sesame, and a little chili. No sugar in the dressing. One bowl is about 260 calories, 12g protein, and 14g net carbs. The heaped bowl is the picture, not a double serving.Use shirataki or kelp noodles, not rice vermicelli. Rice noodles are what blow the carb line. Rinse them well and pat them dry, or the salad goes watery. The dressing is soy, lime or vinegar, sesame oil, and a sugar-free sweetener. A jar of sweet Asian dressing has sugar and misses the card.Toss the noodles and the vegetables first. Peanuts, sesame, cilantro, and chili go on at the end so they stay on top, the way they sit in the photo. Fifteen minutes covers the rinse and the toss. There is no cook time.Why you'll love it

Looks like the photo: glass noodles, carrot, cucumber, peanuts, cilantro, sesame.

The Secret to the Crunch
Dry the noodles after you rinse them. Wet shirataki water down the dressing and the vegetables go limp. Dress the noodles and the cabbage first, then pile the peanuts, sesame, cilantro, and chili on top. Mixed in, they disappear. On top, they look like the bowl.Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I use rice noodles? 🍜
No. They miss the 14g line. Use shirataki or kelp noodles.Is the dressing sweet? 🍋
Only from a sugar-free sweetener. A bottled sweet dressing has sugar and fails the card.Can I make it ahead? 🧊
Yes, without the peanuts and herbs. Add those when you eat it, or they soften.Prep Time: 15 mins
