Ingredients

  • 1 -inch piece ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups cooked spaghetti
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • Handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Method

  • For the dressing: Grate the ginger into a deep bowl (large enough to hold the salad ingredients).
  • Add the olive oil, sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, mustard, soy sauce and lime juice.
  • Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together until emulsified, about 1 minute.
  • For the salad: Add the spaghetti, carrots, peppers, scallions and cilantro to the bowl.
  • Using tongs, toss until the noodles are coated with the dressing.
  • Cover the bowl, and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight, so the noodles can absorb the flavors from the dressing.
