Thai Noodle Salad with the BEST EVER Peanut Sauce- loaded up with healthy veggies! Vegan and Gluten-Free!
Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable. ~Mary Oliver~
The other day I got a hankering for an old standby we used to have on the Mizuna menu, the vegetarian restaurant my friend Tonia and I started together way back when. Thai Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce. Here it’s made with rice noodles and a boatload of crunchy veggies- cabbage, carrots, bell pepper and radish, then tossed in the most flavorful, balanced peanut sauce eeeeeeeeeever!
This Thai Noodle Salad is great made-ahead, and keeps well for 3-4 days in the fridge -perfect for midweek meals and lunches, or potlucks and gatherings. Top this with flavorful Sesame Ginger Tofu or baked chicken for added protein if you prefer. So delicious!
Watch the quick video to see how easy it is!
Yes I may be biased – I’ve had many versions of Thai peanut sauce, here and throughout Thailand, but this Thai Peanut Sauce is still hands-down my all-time very favorite! Not too sweet, perfectly balanced.
The secret ingredient is fresh orange juice, giving it a delicious brightness. I highly recommend making a double batch of the Thai Peanut Sauce to use with spring rolls or buddha bowls. If you are like me you will be eating it by the spoonful. It’s that good! ( Also know that this works with almond butter too!)
It starts with 6 ounces of dry noodles. So here again, the salad is actually, by volume more veggies than noodles! My kind of salad.
Use linguine, soba noodles, pad Thai-style rice noodles, brown rice noodles or seriously any pasta you have in your pantry. Toss the pasta with 4 cups of shredded veggies. Add scallions, jalapeño and cilantro (or basil) and toss with the flavorful peanut sauce. Top with toasted, crushed peanuts.
The salad gets more and more flavorful each day.
Veggies like cabbage, carrots and radishes, stay crunchy in the salad, even over several days. The light and creamy peanut sauce is a nice contrast.
Make this as spicy as you want. I love adding fresh, finely chopped jalapeño to the salad for a little added heat.
Toss it up and serve it in a cute serving bowl.
Garnish with the roasted crushed peanuts and chopped scallion at the end ( so they stay fresh and crunchy).
Healthy, delicious and filling- I love having this Thai Noodle Salad on hand for a quick healthy snack too!
Here it is with the Sesame Ginger Tofu….so good!
A fridge full of make-ahead salads, that’s what we’ve been feasting on at home this week. Super handy and time-saving, these are easy mid-week meals! Make a batch on Sunday and have throughout the week!

The peanut sauce is fabulous! Looking forward to making the salad. Thank you!
Glad you like it Lynn!
What noodles do you use?
I’ve use all kinds but in these photos, these are rice noodles ( like you would use in Pad Thai) sometimes called “rice stick”.
I didn’t exactly follow your peanut sauce to the letter (I tend to like more garlic and I added a little less soy sauce and added in some oyster sauce) I also like a little more spice, so did a combination of sweet chili sauce and siracha, but the fresh orange juice is FANTASTIC. I’ve tried similar recipes and you’re right, the orange really listens every beautifully. I used Somen (thin Japanese noodles) for the salad and loved loved it! Great recipe.
I love this recipe! It contains colorful and fiber-rich foods that will keep you full and energize you. I recommend this to my patients!
★★★★★
Thanks Gioia! Appreciate the comment and the rating! All the best to you!
We absolutely loved this recipe! I used whatever veggies I had in the house (I’ve been working my way through a huge savoy cabbage), some tempeh and a little less rice noodles for just the two of us. I thought we’d have leftovers for lunch the next day but my partner ate it all! He even raved about it to his hunting buddies the next day and asked to have it added to the rotation.
Your website is the first one I look to when making my monthly meal plan and I always include a few your recipes each month. The recipes work with my cooking style of using whatever I have, always changing the recipe to taste and making veggies the bulk of the meal but are much better than I could ever come up with on my own! This one and your enchilada pie with the addition of sweet potatoes are my partner’s favorite vegan meals!
★★★★★
Thanks Tianna, really appreciate it!
Can this be served warm?
Tiffany- you could try it? I’ve never had it warm, but I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work. Give it a go!
Wonderful! I made this as written and it was even a hit with my spice-hating bro-in-law. The double recipe of sauce makes 2 cups for anyone wondering. 1 1/4 cups went into my salad so it may have been extra yum….
★★★★★
Loved this peanut sauce! Such unexpected flavour. Wanted to say that I really like your website and recipes. Everything is well laid out with great graphics in lots of white space. Definitely draws in and entices the reader to try the food.
Excellent work. 🙂
★★★★★
Most delicious peanut sauce! Yummy!
I used soba noodles and loved the taste of them!
★★★★★
I am so inspired to make this. Getting fed up with meat, and looking for really healthy and vibrant recipes like this one. Your photography is gorgeous. And I love the rustic pottery and utensils. On the list for the weekend.
★★★★★
Big hit with my teens! I served it with tofu (kids had chicken). Peanut sauce was fabulous and really nice dip for the chicken. YUM
Awesome, so glad you liked it!
★★★★★
Holy wowzers I’m swooning right now after making this tonight. I had to make a few subs to accommodate a peanut allergy (used almond butter and toasted salted almonds chopped on top instead) and I forgot I was out of limes so added a bit of rice vinegar to maintain the right acidity. And WOW. I’m in love. This recipe is going into my regular rotation.(Also, I may have doubled it just so I could eat it for lunch all week too. No judging.)
Very nice and light peanut sauce, I added some crushed lemongrass to it as well.
thanks!
★★★★★
Can you suggest an alternative for the honey/agave? My husband does not process any of the refined sugars – it causes serious gastric problems. We love Asian dishes. I’ve made a darn good hoisin substitute using reduced prune juice. And I’ve had success using fruit jams sweetened only with juice. Any thoughts on what to use? I’m thinking either apricot or pineapple jam. Perhaps marmalade?
Try dates!
Awesome! I use udon noodles and it turned out great. Definitely make a double batch of sauce.
Just made this but as a twist, I added chicken and stir fried it with the veggies/sauce, and put it over soba noodles. So delicious even hot, the peanut sauce is just amazing, garnished with scallions, cilantro, and dry chinese noodles and it was just wonderful, my VERY picky guests loved it!
★★★★★
Hi Sylvia, looks amazing!! I am trying to cut out soy so wondering if it would be possible to eliminate soy sauce in dressing or if there is an alternative substitute for it.
What about Liquid Aminos Acid or Coconut Amino’s ( available at Trader Joes)
Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe! If making ahead for the week, would you suggest storing the cooked noodles, chopped veggies and peanut sauce separately and tossing together when ready to eat, or storing it all together from the beginning in one large bowl? Thanks so much!
★★★★★
I think it would be fine mixing it all together!
My husband and I love this dish! This will be perfect to eat during the summer, too.
★★★★★
Wonderful recipe!! I’m also in love with these serving utensils! Where did you get them??
★★★★★
Thanks Jessi! Got them at a vintage store. 🙂
Hi! Can’t wait to try this! Especially excited because you give basil as an alternative to cilantro (my husband can’t eat cilantro 😥). My only question: what is a ‘slice’ of ginger?
I’ll adjust the recipe to be more clear- thanks!
Oh my gosh, this is amazing! So yummy! I have extra dressing just to dip my veggies in for a snack. Thank you for the recipe. I made extra for my husband’s lunch and tossed some shrimp on it for him, and extra siracha.
If you are using cheap hydrogenated peanut butter because you’re a poor broke college student add a little water to break up the bonds between the peant butter and hydrogenated oil in order to thin it out. Id say about two table spoons.
Oh my! This dish is absolutely delicious! I used soba noodles and added the tasty sesame ginger tofu. The sauce was so flavorful that my daughter wants to use it on everything she eats…definitely the best ever!
★★★★★
Delicious! The peanut sauce is perfect. I made this without the noodles and just as a type of slaw the first time, and then the next time with courgette noodles (watching those carbs!). It’s a wonderfully versitile recipe. I’ve been making very similar sauces for ‘satay’ style for some time, and the orange is the perfect addition. Thank you so much for sharing!
★★★★★
Glad you enjoyed Dee!
I just happened across this recipe while looking for an entirely different recipe. This recipe is fantastic! I was highly skeptical that the peanut sauce would work out, especially without fish sauce. It is delicious! I also made the ginger sesame baked tofu. This was a winner as well (I usually do not like tofu–I am now a believer). I look forward to trying other recipes.

I’m so glad you tried the tofu! Good for you!!!
Thank you, this is absolutely delicious! I made extra sauce so I wonder how long it will keep in the fridge?
★★★★★
One week!
This was a total hit with my family. I made this with the sesame ginger tofu. My family of carnivores ate every last bite. They raved about how good this was. I also included cucumbers to the salad, and more sriracha to the dressing since we tend to like the spicy side of life.
★★★★★
Perfect, glad you adapted to your tastes!
This was fast, easy, and delicious!
★★★★★
Thanks Mary!Glad you liked it!!!
Made this last night. Great flavor and even my picky husband said it was good. But I have a question — is the Thai Peanut Sauce supposed to be on the thick side or thin side? My sauce was rather thin and sunk to the bottom of the bowl; I had to keep stirring my noodle salad as I ate to keep it all incorporated. Seeing all the liquid going into the blender, I skipped the honey and added 4 Medjool dates to get the sweetness and cut the liquid. I still found this pretty thin.
Made this with the Sesame Ginger Tofu…..that was bite-my-hand-off DELICIOUS! Wish I had leftovers this morning!
Great tasting healthy main dish. Even better for lunch next day.
★★★★★
Thanks Dianne!
Yum! Exactly what I hoping for and dreaming of! Made it originally to be a side to my marinated thai duck shish kabobs. I had some of the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Tonight it’s getting paired with chicken on the grill. Yum!
★★★★★
Sounds delicious Ellen!Thanks for sharing!
I love the recipe. Tried it and it was Delicious. But the serving utensils are just to die for. Everything just come together in that plate. Where did you get them from?

Thanks- found them at thrift store I think.
This is absolutely delicious! I’ve had other peanut sauce recipes and variations of this theme salad, but this one takes the cake. Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes. I’ve been trying so many, it gives me great joy as I look forward to trying another one as often as I can. Your website was a true gift of discovery and I have shared it with numerous people looking for healthy, delicious recipes. As someone who loves to cook, and regularly reads recipes for fun, your insight, photos, and attitude have been keeping me excited to step back into my tiny kitchen!
thank you.!
Susan! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for your very kind words! So sweet…. and it totally made my day! Also, HUGE thanks for sharing the blog, always appreciated! Have a beautiful week.xoxo
Really good! Love the sauce 😋
We enjoyed this! I made the tofu to go along with. The dressing for the salad was perfect, but I had a lot of leftover marinade for the tofu. I skipped adding any extra salt to the dressing as the soy sauce gave it all saltiness it needed. Will definitely make it again!
Nice Post..
Thanks for sharing this Healthy food rand recipes ideas with us..
I love to cook these Yummy and healthy food…Please share more cooking ideas with us.
This looks beautiful! Do I see corn in there as well?
OMG I just made this and it is indeed outrageous! Threw in some leftover veggies I prepared for rice paper rolls, boiled up some noodles and wow, the dressing is indeed exceptional. It hits all the tangy and spicy notes. I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t or can’t eat cilantro and peanut butter 😉
★★★★★
Hahaha…I do too Ruthy! 😉 glad you liked it!
This is a perfect recipe!!! My new addiction! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve also made it with almonds and almond butter for a peanut allergy friend and it was delicious too!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome Melissa, yes, good with almond butter too!

Great to hear Milli! Thanks for the comment and rating and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I love it too. 😉 xoxo
This is soooo delicious! I have made it with tofu, chicken, stirfry noodles, and just extra veggies instead of noodles. Always yummy! The roasted peanuts add such a nice extra crunch and flavor.
★★★★★

I made this for a family dinner and it was a huge hit. My son in law and daughter rarely take second helpings as they are watching their weight but they did take second helpings this night and asked for the recipe. I will make this often. Excellent summer recipe.
★★★★★
This salad was so good. Added chicken to make it a meal. This recipe is a definite keeper. I will make again! Very easy to make.
Amazing! All the flavors make it the perfect dish! The peanut sauce was by far the best I have ever made!
This is amazing!!! Loved it!!
Do you use the whole lime and orange including the rind or just the juice n quantities as indicated?
Just as indicated in recipe. 🙂
This recipe reminded me of a dish from a local restaurant my husband and I order often. We always get tofu as you suggested here, so I added fried cubes of tofu. It was very close to the one we order, fresh tasting, and quite delicious!! The sauce is complex and truly addictive. I also love the look, the information, and the healthy recipes on your site. I appreciate the numerous recipes that give meatless/vegan options. This is the way my family aspires to eat, so thanks for your support!!!!
★★★★★
This was just delicious! probably the best peanut sauce I have ever had – seriously.
★★★★★
My wife made this last night, on a hot, no-wind-circulation kind of heat wave here in Southern California. I came home from my wedding and was met with an incredible meal. It was perfect. She added some chilled grilled chicken. My personal preference would be to amp up the jalapeno and the salt, but just slightly. Still, it was PERFECT.
★★★★★
Made this last night … OMG DELISH!!! Even the hubby loved it! Added some rotisserie chicken breast.
Yum. Crunchy peanutbuttery delious salad Added chicken from the night before
I would make this again!!!!
This is delicious, and the peanut sauce is truly excellent. I’m cooking for teenage boys so I doubled the sauce and used 1 lb. of linguine. I also served this with grilled chicken. Everyone loved it.
★★★★★
Oh my goodness this is delicious.
★★★★★
Thanks for sharing this yummy and healthy recipes ideas. Its a very nice post .I love to try different yummy recipes …Thanks again

I do, but I think any peanut butter will work.

★★★★★
I tried this because I love a very similar, and very expensive, salad sold at Gelson’s. This turned out GREAT and it was so easy! I took it to a summer party and people raved about it. I just used the slaw mix you buy in the produce section, rinsed and dumped it in. Thanks for sharing.
★★★★★
Love the quick use of shredded slaw! Awesome!
Do you have the nutrition facts?
They are below the recipe
Absolutely delicious and a great way to get veggies into a meal. Especially perfect on a hot summer day when eating anything hot isnt an option!
★★★★★
Delectable💗
It has become one of my favourites. Thank you for the recipe😘
★★★★★
Oh my goodness! This is so delicious! I used this for meal prep lunches for my husband and me. It made 7 lunches. Next time, I’ll use more veggies to stretch it out. The peanut dressing was so delicious!! I love that this recipe is totally vegan. I try to keep our consumption to meat to a minimum. I’m going to make this again next week. Thank you!
★★★★★
Absolutely loved it!!Thanks for sharing 😊
★★★★★
This was excellent! I agree that this is the best peanut dressing ever. Perfect flavor!
★★★★★
Yes! Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing and rating!~ xo
Another winner by Sylvia! As always, easy to put together and very, very tasty! I believe it’s he best peanut sauce I’ve ever made! I pretty much stuck to the recipe and it was fabulous! Perfect for lunches.
★★★★★
This is basically my favorite recipe ever! It always turns out amazing. I like adding some shelled edamame and a shredded chicken breast to up the protein content (the edamame also adds a pop of pretty green). I also like to add some Penzey’s Bangkok blend seasoning. This is the prettiest, most colorful, and most delicious salad I’ve ever tried, and it is perfect for meal-prep lunches all week.
★★★★★
Awwwwww Jen! I loved getting this today! Thanks for sharing!
I’m almost sorry I came across this because it sounds so wonderful. I can’t have the grians or sugars. I’m not even sure where to begin to try to modify it. Maybe shiritake noodles and stevia sweetener.
Ssssooooo yummy!
This is a great base recipe to play with. We had some stuff to use up so I threw in some tofu, carrot, broccoli, edamame, capsicum, shallots, coriander and sesame seeds with soba noodles. The sauce is next level tasty. I added less garlic and sesame oil (I had run out but doubling the recipe 6 tablespoons seemed insane) and it still tasted incredible. Thanks for this versatile recipe and sauce!
★★★★★
This recipe is amazing! I had to alter the ginger garlic soy sauce amount bc I like things over the top lol. Can we talk about how easy this was to throw together?! Talk about a happy pregnant tired mommy! My tummy is so satisfied right now heh mmm mmmm mmmmmm
★★★★★
Hi Sylvia
This was absolutely fantastic.Cant tell you how many times Ive made it.Also used edamame and broccoli..Omg!! Fabulous!! Thank you 😋😋😋😋❤
Amazing recipe!!! So delicious and healthy. Thanks for sharing this.
★★★★★
You are so welcome and glad you liked it!!!
I am planning to make this tomorrow. Can you clarify the orange? Is it just the 1\4 cup of juice?
Yes, just ¼ fresh orange juice.
Made this yesterday for Christmas lunch and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone loved it.
★★★★★
Awesome Steph- glad you all enjoyed!
Really good Sauce !
★★★★★
I have a tub of undressed mixed chopped vegi’s in the fridge, left over from Asian Slaw I made yesterday. The peanut sauce sounds divine. Can’t wait to try it today. Thank you for the inspiration!
I made this for a bunch of friends to serve with some thai curries. It was a huge hit and I had to send the recipe to several friends afterwards. Great when you have a mix of vego/vegan/carnivore people to feed. The sauce is so yummy.
It will be a staple in our home from now on. Chooks loved the leftovers too 🙂
★★★★★
Definitely the best peanut sauce evah!! The sauce alone is amazing and combined into a noodle salad is perfect. I even make this sauce by itself to go with fresh spring rolls or satay chicken, it’s that good!
★★★★★
Glad you like it and so Perfect with fresh spring rolls. 🙂
Hi Sylvia! I discovered your blog a few days ago and this is the first recipe I tried and I absolutely LOVED it. The peanut sauce was new to me but it’s so delicious. I’m amazed that such an easy and fast meal can taste so good! This recipe makes me want to try more of your recipes and I think they will help me discover a new way of eating.
★★★★★
Hi Laure, thanks for your kind comment- welcome to the blog- super happy you are here.
Holy wow is this good! I made it with strips of chicken that I pan fried in sesame oil with garlic and ginger. I’ve been sharing this recipe with everyone and cooking it for all of my friends. It’s a huge hit every time. Thanks!
★★★★★
Thanks Laura! Appreciate you and all your comments and sharing! xoxo
This recipe was so good. Nice and crunchy. I used soba noodles. Will make this again
The sauce seemed to dry out when I refrigerated the noodles and sauce mixed together. Any tips?
★★★★
TROP BON! MERCI.
★★★★
Delicious and used up so many odds and ends in the refrigerator. My body felt great after eating it too. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Thanks!
★★★★★
thank you!
Just made this and it’s delicious!! I added chili paste, blood orange juice, and sugar snap peas. The only note I have is to double or triple the peanut sauce because it is FANTASTIC. I could eat spoonfuls of that sauce, and I did. Great recipe, thank you for sharing.
★★★★★
This Thai noodle salad tastes truly amazing, I’ve made the dish at least 5 times and it’s so easy to put together! Thank you Sylvia! ( also my daughter’s name) ❤️ Your recipes never let me down and I have so many I want to try! x
★★★★★
Awesome!Great to hear…thanks!
I just made this and used powdered peanut butter. Delish!
★★★★★
This is a great recipe. I def. altered the sauce a touch to suit my taste as I like a little more garlic and a little less sweet, but that’s just my preference. I put prawns on top. This will definitely be a go to meal prep item going forward!!
★★★★★
This sounds yummy, just about to make it tonight! Does it matter whether the peanut butter is salted or not?
★★★★★
I used salted
Made a double batch today for a baby shower this weekend. If the ladies like this as much as my household does it will be a winner and with all the flavors in the sauce how could they not. Definitely a keeper
Thank you for this recipe! I doubled the dressing and added chicken. This gets better every day it has a chance to blend in the fridge. My family loves it!
★★★★★
This was delicious the day I made it, and maybe even better the next! I added a little fish sauce for some authentic funk, but it was great before that too. Will definitely make this again!
★★★★★
So glad you enjoyed!
This is SO good I’m going to hurt myself! I can’t stop. Who needs dessert? I’ll just have another serving of this awesome salad please.
SO delicious! I used standard rice pad Thai noodles. Took this to a pot luck and it was completely gone long before our gathering was over. Thanks for a great recipe!
So happy you enjoyed the recipe- and appreciate you taking the time to rate! Thank you !!!
So obsessed with this salad! I’ve been eating it everyday for the past 3 days !
★★★★★
What a fabulous recipe, I was a bit unsure about the orange juice in the dressing, but wow it was awesome and I am seriously fussy about peanut sauce.
Thank you so much
★★★★★
Great mix of flavors and perfect for using up spring veggies. Thank you!
★★★★★
Delicious! And fabulous peanut sauce just as claimed
★★★★★
Love this version. Lots of veggies. But, it’s the sauce that got me! (I tried another recipe I got on-line & their sauce was too thick, leaving noodles dry and leaving me trying to doctor it up) This recipe is thin enough to cover everything while having excellent flavor.
★★★★★
Your blog is so beautiful and I love everything I’ve ever made. Love your style and all these amazing recipes. Thank you!
★★★★★
Awww… thanks Ellen! Appreciate you. 🙂
You are not kidding! This sauce is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Now back to shoveling this salad in my belly.
★★★★★
I’m allergic to citrus. What can I substitute? I can’t do any red or white vinegar..
How about using a little more rice vinegar? Honestly, I worry it just won’t be the same. The Orange juice makes this!
OMG!! I have never made anything Thai and I’m here to tell you that this is exactly what I was looking for. I followed the directions without changing anything and it turned out beautiful.
★★★★★
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Christy!
I made this exactly as written and am eating it regularly. Can’t get enough of it. I use the the brown rice and millet ramen noodles from Costco and sometimes add sliced skinless and boneless chicken thighs marinated in a little soy sauce and half as much sesame oil then quickly sautéed. Thank you for this favorite!
★★★★★
Thanks for sharing your adaptations! So glad you are liking it 🙂
I definitely want to try this. Can it be made with broccoli slaw? How about Ramen noodles? Just trying to add more “green” into dish. Reviews are so inviting.
Give it a try! I haven’t personally tried it with either but you could definitely try it! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
I haven’t finished it yet, making it for company tonight…..however, how should I prepare the garlic for the peanut sauce – sliced, whole, grated, minced?
Thanks
It’s going in the blender, so whole is OK. Ginger is sliced to prevent “strings”.
Just wrote and sent a question about the garlic. I wondered because the ginger is sliced. Didn’t mean to post anonymously, just an oversight.
