This Thai Peanut Pasta Salad is a great low-carb side dish that's packed full of crunchy vegetables, tender low-carb noodles, and a deliciously creamy peanut satay dressing.
Start by boiling water in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the instructions on the package.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse with cool water.
Take a large bowl and add the cooked pasta, chopped cabbage, sliced green onions, diced carrots, diced cucumber, diced red bell pepper, and crushed peanuts. Stir everything together so it's well mixed.
Add in the minced Thai chilies, Thai basil, and cilantro. Give everything another good stir.
Time to make the sauce: In a saucepan, add peanut butter, tamari, water, powdered Swerve, Sambal Oelek, rice wine vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Warm this mixture over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken. This usually takes around 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, turn off the heat.
Pour your homemade Satay sauce all over the salad. Make sure to toss the salad well so that every ingredient gets a good coating of the sauce.
Cover the salad and pop it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together.
