Prepare Rice Noodles

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Set aside.

Make the Thai Peanut Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, garlic and grated ginger, until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.

Assemble the Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage, shelled edamame, chopped peanuts, and sliced scallions. Pour half the prepared Thai peanut dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and add more dressing as desired. (I like to keep some set aside to add on top.) You can optionally top this salad with some shredded chicken or tofu for extra protein!
