    Vegan Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce

    I love the vibrant, fresh flavours in an Asian-inspired noodle salad. It's endlessly customisable and you can use whatever summery vegetables you have to hand. Feel free to substitute in spiralised sweet potato, cucumber or beets - they all add their own unique flavour. The peanut sauce has a big depth of flavour from the rice wine vinegar and tamari. The salad is then spiced up with some dried chilli flakes and served with a squeeze of lime.

    This time of year, as the days grow longer and the air warmer, I suddenly crave more fresh vegetables and cold salads. Winter is a time for lentil dhal, kale and ale stew and lentil soup. But now, with spring quietly approaching, I want salads. This noodle salad is perfect for conjuring images of warm days, exotic holidays and lighter nights. Roll on Spring!

      Love the sound of adding Maple Syrup into the Peanut sauce too and shall have to be on the look out for Heck Vegge products. I'm having a great time trawling your fabulous blog Kate.

      Gotta love a good noodle salad, and that dressing sounds super tasty. Does the maple syrup add a particularly distinctive or noticeable flavour to the sauce? I can't say that I've ever thought about mixing maple and peanut butter, but it seems like a good idea to me!

      What a vibrant and versatile meal. I love that it can be thrown on noodles or rice. Wish I could pull it right out of the screen to try, but I guess I will just have to add it to my list to make some day instead!

      I've only just discovered the Heck veggie products, finally buying one when it was on special offer at Waitrose. We just had them plain as a "stop-gap" with some sweet chilli sauce but I can see form your lovely salad how versatile they are. Lovely idea and images 🙂

      Yum! Those Thai bites sound really interesting - I love some of Heck's other stuff but haven't tried those yet. Like little Thai falafel!

      Loving this salad, in fact now would be good for eating it. I know my husband would love it too. We've tried the Heck range & it is good, but I only see it now and again, so grabvit when I do. Thanks for linking to me.

      The Thai Bites sound great - I may give them a try instead of falafels. Your gorgeous noodle salad is the perfect accompaniment.

      Ooh I've not tried Heck's Thai bites, will look out for them. I've been impressed with their other veggie offerings. Your peanut salad and sauce sound delicious and a perfect accompaniment.

      This looks like a really delicious salad - and a healthy one. I particualrly like to add seasonal ingredients to my meals too as they tend to taste so much better. Tx

      Beautiful food. Who needs meat, eh? This year I started on my journey towards vegetarianism and ultimately want to be a vegan, yet on some days my enthusiasm wanes and I'm left wondering whether I'll be able to survive. This kind of food convinces me it's possible to enjoy.
