My absolute favourite cuisine has to be Asian; Chinese…Thai…Japanese…Vietnamese…I love it all and swear I could eat this food 24/7!  Many people consider this to be “treat” food, confined to only a weekend takeaway but I try to incorporate it into our everyday healthy eating as much as possible. One of my favourite Asian dishes to whip up during the summer is my Rainbow Veggie Rice Noodle Salad!

There really is no better time for fresh healthy ingredients than summer. As much as I love the warming comfort food of winter, nothing beats a delicious and vibrant summer salad, especially one that can be thrown together in just a few minutes.

The salad dressing is super mild, meaning it’s perfect for kids. Packed full of fresh and raw vegetables it’s a fantastic way to get your kids to eat a rainbow of veggies!

A delicious and healthy family meal packed full of nutritious veggies! | My Fussy Eater blog


Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 medium courgette / zucchini
  • 1 red pepper
  • palm sized piece of red cabbage
  • 2 tbsp tinned sweetcorn
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 8 stalks tenderstem broccoli
  • 90g dry rice noodles
  • Dressing:
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • juice of 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. Boil the kettle and whilst you are waiting make a start on the salad.
  2. You can either spiralize or grate the carrot and courgette into a large bowl. Chop the red pepper and red cabbage into thin strips and add to the bowl, along with the sweetcorn and sesame seeds.
  3. Chop the tenderstem broccoli into small stalks and place in a saucepan with boiling water. Cook on high for 3 minutes or until the broccoli has just started to soften. Remove from the heat and add the rice noodles. Cover the saucepan with a lid and leave for 5 minutes.
  4. In the meantime make the salad dressing by mixing all the ingredients in a jar or cup. You may need to add more or less water than stated depending on how you like the consistency.

      I don’t think the salad and rice noodles would freeze very well.
