I had a bunch of fresh dandelion greens in the refrigerator that were just screaming noodle salad. I really enjoyed prepping all the veggies for our salad. It was worth taking the extra time to do so.

Prep your salad ingredients:

• 1 bunch dandelion greens soaked in lime juice or vinegar to cause them to wilt
• 1 stalk celery cut at an angle
• 1 carrot cut into matchsticks
• 1 red pepper cut into thin strips
• 1 cucumber cut at an angle
• 3 to 4 mint leaves in thin strips
• cilantro to taste

Prepare your dressing:

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• juice of one fresh lime
• Sriracha sauce to taste
• 1/2 tsp grated ginger (or I steeped fresh ginger in hot water and used it to thin the peanut butter because I don’t like the feel of ginger under my teeth)
• 2 tbsp chili oil

I used a flat rice noodle which I prepared by soaking them for a couple of minutes in boiling water. I then rinsed the noodles in cold water to cool them down for the salad.

Next time I make this, I need to make sure I allow enough time for the greens to wilt. Other than that, I think this salad is going to be a summer staple!
