Glass Noodle Salad
There’s a tradition here at Club Foody that has being going on since 2017 (the site started in March 2016 so we missed the mark that year) and it’s to start the New Year with a salad recipe 🥗! It’s a nice, healthy and also delicious way to begin 2024!
In 2017, we started with my Julienne Salad then the years after that was Winter Citrus, Asian Chicken, Classic Cobb, Quinoa Beet, Pear Pomegranate Blue Cheese and last year, Egyptian Farro Salad! Now here’s the first one of 2024… Glass Noodle Salad!
This recipe is incredibly healthy 💚! With a gorgeous selection of fresh produce along with chicken, peanuts, sesame seeds and cilantro plus vermicelli noodles, not only is it satisfying but certainly a tasty way to keep up with the resolution.
The first thing to do is to poach and shred the chicken 🐓. This is the leanest way to enjoy this protein as it doesn’t require any fat to cook it. I have the easiest method of doing it so click on the link to view it… How to Poach & Shred Chicken the Easy Way
Vermicelli is a Chinese transparent noodle made from starch and often referred to as “glass noodles” where the Glass Noodle Salad recipe title is from. It’s sold dried and to reconstitute the texture and make them soft, they’re soaked in very hot water for 3 minutes ⏱ before being separated using either a fork or chopstick 🍜.
After prepping the chicken and the noodles, the rest is easy peasy! Simply slice the red cabbage, julienne all the vegetables 🥒🥕, roughly chop the peanuts, toast the sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro… done! I also like serving this dish with a couple of lime wedges.
Start the New Year with this easy and healthy Glass Noodle Salad! Packed with yumminess 😍, this recipe is perfect as a main dish. I like pairing it with my Asian Peanut Dressing or my Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette although any of your favorites will do…
