Lemongrass Dressing Recipes

HEALTHY THAI SALAD WITH LEMONGRASS DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine all ingredients for the lemongrass dressing, whisk together and set aside.
• Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions.
• Once cooked, drain noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water until chilled, then transfer to a bowl.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the dressing to the noodles and toss to coat, then set dressed noodles aside.
• In a small bowl, toss tofu cubes with the coconut oil, sweet chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium to high heat and add in tofu, then saute until browned and crispy on all sides, around 5-minutes.
• Assemble the salad by dividing the romaine lettuce between two bowls and topping each with the dressed rice noodles.
• Next, layer over the crispy tofu, carrot, tomato, cucumber, and sprouts, then drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with the green onion, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!
