Asian Summer Noodle Salad

Asian Summer Noodle Salad is a light and delicious way to eat your summer vegetables!

This could quite possibly be my shortest post to date. I am seriously rushing out the door to catch a flight to Barcelona as a starting point to travel to the Balearic Islands and over to Italy and ending up in Rome! I am so excited that I can hardly contain myself. I have never been to Spain before, so visiting someplace new is incredible and hanging out on cool islands will be amazing. I have been to Italy many, many times before but for some reason, Rome has never made my list! This time, I’ll make it! I’m excited to check it out and enjoy all the history and food! I’m not looking forward to the heat though…. They have named the heat wave that they are experiencing “Lucifer”. Ha. It just sounds Hot!

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks! I’m planning on blogging while I’m away to share all the yummy food and experiences that we encounter. When I get back, I’m sure that I will have a plethora of recipes to share!

In anticipation of eating my way through Europe over the next weeks, I thought it would be best to eat a light and healthy Asian Summer Noodle Salad. I’ll tell Ya, with all the fresh vegetables at the market this is a perfect light dinner, lunch or geez even a snack. The creamy Asian dressing is a perfect accompaniment to the rice noodles and vegetables. I added some grilled shrimp to make it even more delicious! Give this Asian Summer Noodle Salad a try. It’s awesome!


Next stop Barcelona!

Enjoy!
