Vegan Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce

I love the vibrant, fresh flavours in an Asian-inspired noodle salad. It’s endlessly customisable and you can use whatever summery vegetables you have to hand. Feel free to substitute in spiralised sweet potato, cucumber or beets – they all add their own unique flavour. The peanut sauce has a big depth of flavour from the rice wine vinegar and tamari. The salad is then spiced up with some dried chilli flakes and served with a squeeze of lime.

This time of year, as the days grow longer and the air warmer, I suddenly crave more fresh vegetables and cold salads. Winter is a time for lentil dhal, kale and ale stew and hearty soups. But now, with spring quietly approaching, I want salads. This noodle salad is perfect for conjuring images of warm days, exotic holidays and lighter nights. Roll on Spring!

Heck Thai Bites

This vegan noodle salad is wonderful topped with Thai Bites by Heck. They are delicious vegan balls made of Thai pesto, sweet potato and sticky rice. No funny ingredients, they’re just like something you’d make yourself – but wayyyyy more convenient because you can buy them at Waitrose or online. They’re perfect alongside a stir fry and spring rolls, or served with a pad Thai. They have a really nice kick of flavour with Thai basil, green chillis, garlic, lemongrass and fresh coriander.

My family have been enjoying them served with this noodle salad, but also with fragrant rice and stir-fried veggies. We even had them in a wrap with vegetables for lunch. They’re really versatile. I also love Heck‘s Super Greens balls, which are filled with quinoa, kale, spinach and ginger.
