freshly made Cucumber & Cashew Noodle Salad in a dish

Clearspring Cucumber & Cashew Noodle Salad

August 16, 2023

Everyone loves noodles, so this is the kind of recipe made for friends and family when they’re coming over.

It looks beautiful – vibrant and green – and it tastes so fresh thanks to the mint and lime. It’s a great lunchbox option too; just take the dressing in a separate little pot and stir it together when you’re ready to eat.

This recipe serves 4.

Ingredients:

  • 4 portions of Clearspring Organic Japanese Brown Rice Udon Noodles (about 80g per person)
  • 100g Edamame Beans
  • 1 Cucumber, chopped into bitesize pieces
  • 1 Avocado, peeled, stoned and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • Handful of Mint Leaves, chopped (about 10g)
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds, toasted
  • 1 Tablespoon Black Sesame Seeds (if you don’t have both black and white sesame seeds, you can double the quantity of one of them)
  • 100g Cashews, toasted
  • Salt
  • FOR THE DRESSING
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 2 Tablespoons Clearspring Organic Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Clearspring Organic Japanese Tamari Soya Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Wine Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Clearspring Organic Japanese Brown Rice Miso Paste
  • Salt

Method:

1

Place a large saucepan of salted water over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook the noodles following the instructions on the packet – adding the edamame beans for the last 3 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent any further cooking.

2

Whisk all the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.

3

Place the cooked noodles and edamame beans in a large mixing bowl and add the remaining salad ingredients.

4

Pour over the dressing and stir through before serving. I like to keep back a few cashews, mint leaves and sesame seeds to sprinkle on top.
