Calories: 229kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz angel hair pasta
- 1 TBSP toasted sesame oil
- 1 Granny Smith apple cut into wedges and thinly sliced
- ½ seedless cucumber cut into thin half-moons
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- 2 ½ cups chicken shredded
- ¼ cup fresh mint thinly sliced (optional)
Dressing
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice about 3 limes
- 2 TBSP light brown sugar
- 2 TBSP sesame oil additional
- 2 TBSP rice vinegar
- 1 TBSP red chili paste or ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep: Start by cooking the noodles according to package directions. Then, rinse the pasta under cold water to cool, then toss with 1 TBSP sesame oil.
- Core and slice the apple into thin wedges. Then, dice the cucumber into half-moon shape pieces and the scallions into thin bits as well. You will also need the chicken cooked before assembling this salad. I use a rotisserie chicken for ease.
- Make dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, red chili (if using), ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
