Roast Beef Rice Noodle Salad | Magnolia Days

You look at the clock and know what time it is. It’s mid-afternoon and before you know it you will be doing something about supper. It’s been a hard day and the idea of standing over a stove is not appealing. You are simply not in the mood to cook. Dining out is not an option and take-out doesn’t cut it either. What to do then? It’s simple. Make a roast beef rice noodle salad.

There is no cooking involved with this salad. Soak rice noodles in hot water until they are softened. Chop up veggies, slice an apple, whisk the dressing, tear apart sliced roast beef, and with a toss or two it is done in less than 30 minutes. You have an Asian-inspired dish loaded with snow peas, tart apple, deli-sliced roast beef, green onions, and peanuts. The dressing is made with oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and ginger.
