Notes
*Ginger Dressing Amount & When Serving:If serving immediately, place the ginger dressing on the salad, mix well and serve. If serving later or the next day, do not place the ginger dressing onto the salad until ready to serve. Additionally, you may wish to double the ginger dressing. If doubling, place half of the ginger dressing onto the salad and mix well to coat the salad, then reserve the other half to drizzle some extra ginger dressing on top of individual servings.
*Pasta: This recipe makes a large noodle salad. It is heavy on veggies and on the lighter side for the amount of pasta noodles. If you wish, you can go up to 16 oz. in pasta noodles.
*Food Prepping: If food prepping this salad, do not add the dressing. Keep the dressing separate from the dressing until ready to serve. This will keep the veggies crisp and flavorful.
