Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz. bow tie pasta cooked
  • 1 c. carrots shredded
  • 1 c. cabbage shredded
  • 1 c. cucumber diced
  • ½ c. edamame steamed and shelled
  • ½ c. red peppers chopped
  • ¼ c. green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp. cilantro chopped
  • 1 c. sesame dressing
  • Fresh basil to garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine pasta, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, edamame, red peppers, green onions, and cilantro.
  • Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and mix until evenly coated. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  1. Chilling the salad before serving gives the flavors time to blend and allows the pasta to soak up more of the dressing.
  2. For the best texture in every bite, try to keep the vegetables chopped to a similar size.
  3. Fresh cilantro and basil bring brightness to the dish and make the flavors feel even more vibrant.
  4. If allergies are not a concern, roasted peanuts add a delicious crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy dressing.
  5. Since this pasta salad tastes best cold, keep it chilled until you are ready to serve.
