Last week-end I attended the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco California. What a great event. But, after about 5 aisles of unlimited sampling of exceptional toffee, chocolate covered anything, condiments, cheeses, cured meets, olives, chips, candies …. UGH, I was entering a serious food coma. I was craving something light and fresh so my attention was totally captured when I saw this sign and zeroed in on the related products.
So this blog shows my first two instinctive recipes. Fresh, easy, and totally delicious on the very first try. I purchased my miracle noodles at my favorite local market, Sprouts. Each package is two servings so I purchased two packages of the angle hair variety. Two noodle salads for hubby Jon and I to share.
My idea was to add the flavor with enFuso flavored olive oils and the body with a variety of healthy salad items.
We cooked the miracle noodle per the instructions.
- Drain and rinse in cool water
- Blanch for about a minute in boiling water
- Set aside to drain and cool
I made a tex-mex salad and an asian salad and I can say they were both a major hit for both of us.
Tex Mex Noodle Salad Ingredients:
- 1 package Miracle Noodle Angel Hair variety – prepared per instructions
- Frozen white corn (we used an organic brand) – rinsed and drained
- Canned garbonzo beans (we used an organic brand with no salt) – rinsed and drained
- Colorful bell peppers (we used orange and red) – sliced thin
- 1 green onion – sliced thin
- enfuso Chili Cilantro olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- salt and pepper to taste (we use kosher salt and fresh ground pepper)
- OPTIONAL – but adds really great flavor – a sprinkling of grated mexican style (blend of jack and cheddar) cheese
Asian Noodle Salad Ingredients:
- 1 package Miracle Noodle Angel Hair variety – prepared per instructions
- Water chestnuts – drained and sliced thin
- Cabbage – sliced thin
- Sugar snap peas – break off the ends and slice into small pieces
- Carrot – grated
- English hothouse or Persian miniature cucumber – peeled and diced
- Raw sunflower seeds
- enFuso Persian Lime Cold Pressed Citrus Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon
- salt and pepper to taste (we use kosher salt and fresh ground pepper)
Directions:
- Put the noodles in a mixing bowl
- Add the ingredients to the quantity that looks good to the eye
- Cut through with a butter knife and toss thoroughly
- EAT!
Below is my selected quantity of ingredients for first the Tex Mex and second the Asian style salads. You can vary based on your preferences.
Here is the cut and blended Tex-Mex version ready to eat. This has the added grated Mexican cheese blend … just a touch.
We think – plate the salad with some grilled chicken and you have a satisfying meal that has to be super low cal and full of healthy foods. I am totally eating this next for lunch!
