Thai Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1.5 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons white sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   To make the dressing: Whisk sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, and sugar together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain pasta, rinse with cold water, and return to the pot.

3. 3

   Drizzle dressing over pasta and stir gently to combine. Add peas, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, peanuts, and red pepper flakes; stir until well combined.

4. 4

   Serve at room temperature with lime wedges, or chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.
