Instructions
- In a large salad bowl, add rice noodles, cabbage and romaine lettuce. Top with cucumber, carrots, cilantro, mint, green onions, bean sprouts and shrimp.
- To make your dressing whisk together all ingredients until smooth (tip: if you are using a peanut butter that is on the harder side you can place the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 15-30 seconds to soften it. This makes it easier to whisk into the dressing!).
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, top with chopped peanuts and toss to combine.
Notes
To minimize chances of foodborne illness, I recommend cooking your bean sprouts. Rinse them well and place in a microwave safe bowl with a pinch of salt and covering with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 1 minute.
