Ingredients:
-
Mango Chili Chakra Dressing, see recipe, ½-1 cup
-
1 block of ramen noodles, cooked, rinsed and chilled (we used lotus foods)
-
Baby Arugula, 1 ½ cups
-
*Cucumber and Pepper Pico, 1 cup
-
Sliced Almonds, toasted, ¼ cup
-
Roasted Pepitas, ¼ cup
-
Coconut Flakes, unsweetened, 2 Tbsp.
Preparation Method:
For the cucumber and pepper pico: We added ½ cup diced cucumbers, ¼ cup each red and orange bell peppers, juice of ½ lime and pinch of sparkle salt. You can also skip this step and add them directly to the salad.
Place cooked and chilled noodles in a bowl.
Add baby arugula, cucumber and pepper pico, almond, pepitas and coconut flakes. Pour ½ cup dressing along side of the bowl and toss to coat.
If your feeling a little saucy, you can always add more dressing to taste… we did!
This salad is great for meal prep mason jar salads. Simply add 1/4-1/2 cup of dressing in the base of the jar (we used 16 oz. mason jars). if you're using 1 qt. jars double the recipe:)
