My daughter came home late from work yesterday so I wanted to give her a light but tasty meal.
So I thought up a noodle salad with crispy vegetables and a stunning dressing.
She was more than happy! Then I am happy. You know how it is......
I did not have any fresh herbs at hand but I would recommend some chopped mint or cilantro.
