Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces linguini cooked and rinsed under cold water
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and sliced into thin strips
  • 1 cup red cabbage shredded
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh mint or Thai basil chopped
  • ¼ cup roasted peanuts chopped
  • lime wedges optional
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 2-3 tablespoons water warm

Instructions
 

  • Cook the linguini until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool and prevent sticking.
  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until the dressing is pourable and creamy.
  • Combine the cooked noodles, mango, cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, and herbs in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss everything until evenly coated.
  • Top with chopped peanuts or cashews and serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Rinse your noodles well after cooking to stop the cooking process and keep them from sticking.
  • This salad is great chilled, but tastes even better after the flavors sit for 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Want it spicier? Add more sriracha or a dash of crushed red pepper.
  • Toss in grilled shrimp or tofu for a protein boost—it’s incredibly versatile.
