This is the recipe I used for my RR #9 entry.

http://www.real-restaurant-recipes.com/ ... salad.html

Ingredients:
# 1 pound of linguine noodles
# 2 tablespoons sesame oil (light colored sesame oil made from untoasted sesame seeds)
# 2 bunches green onions, sliced on the bias (save 2 tablespoons for garnish)
# 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
# 2 jalapeno chilies, seeded, deveined and minced
# 10 ounces of snow peas, stringed and thinly sliced lengthwise
# Napa cabbage leaves for lining serving bowl
# 2 carrots, shredded (soaked in cold water for 30 minutes and drained well) for garnish
# 1/2 cup chopped, roasted peanuts for garnish

Ingredients For Dressing:
# 1/2 cup soy sauce
# 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned style or freshly ground)
# 1/4 cup rice vinegar
# 1 tablespoon sugar
# 1/4 cup Oriental (dark) sesame oil



Preparation:
# Cook linguine in a large pot of boiling, salted water until just tender but still firm to the bite (al dente')
# Drain and rinse with cold water to cool the noodles and stop them from cooking more - drain well
# Transfer the linguine to a large bowl and add light sesame oil, tossing to combine
# Mix in onions, cilantro and jalapeno chilies
# Cook snow peas in a sauce pan of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender (about one minute)
# Drain and rinse the snow peas with cold water to cool and drain them well
# Mix the peas into the salad mixture

Preparation For Dressing:
# Combine soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, dark sesame oil and sugar in a food processor, blending until smooth
# Pour just enough dressing over the salad to moisten well and mix with your hands to blend

To serve:
# Line a large platter or bowl with the Napa cabbage leaves and mound the salad over those leaves
# Garnish with shredded carrots, green onion and peanuts and Enjoy!


It was really tasty but like I said I really think it needed the protein, either chicken or shrimp. I've got leftover so I may add some chicken to it tomorrow. The dressing was really good!

Very nice. That dressing sounds delicious.

Thanks Fred. The dressing is what made the salad. lol

Looks yummy Barb! Did you serve it cold or room temp?

Thanks Rob. I had it more room temp last night. This morning I added some chicken and had it for breakfast....cold. It was really good!

looks good .. i was looking at something similar in a grilling cook book ..

Thanks Steve, grilled steak or chicken would be great in this! Maybe even pork.....

Wonderful Barb!!! This looks like another salad I would love to try!

Thanks Sattie!

I added chicken to it today and DH and my older grandson really liked it. I'll be making it again.....

Good to hear.... re affirms the fact that I need to make it. Wonder how it will work with rice noodles?? The dressing sounds like da chit!!
