Pioneer Woman Asian Noodle Salad Recipe

A cold noodle salad with crisp vegetables and a bold dressing is hard to say no to!
The sesame-soy dressing clings to the noodles, soaking into every strand for the best balance of salty, sweet, and tangy.
Fresh cilantro and green onions add brightness, while toasted sesame seeds give a nutty, aromatic finish.
I like to slice the veggies thin so they blend well with the noodles instead of overwhelming the dish.
A handful of crushed peanuts or cashews on top seals the deal with an extra layer of crunch!
