How to Make Oktoberfest Asian Rainbow Salad

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Start by finely slicing or julienning the cabbage, carrot, celery, and sweet onion. Add them to a large bowl along with the chopped cilantro. This mix of colours and textures will make your salad visually appealing and delicious!

2. Make the Peanut Mustard Dressing

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, Oktoberfest Mustard, soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic granules, and hot water. Microwave for about 20 seconds. Then, stir until the dressing is warm, smooth, and creamy. If you'd like a thinner dressing, simply add a little more hot water.

3. Cook the Rice Noodles

Bring enough water to cover the rice noodles to a boil in a large Dutch oven or pot. Remove from heat as directed by your noodle package. Add the noodles and cook or soak according to package directions, usually about 8 minutes. Drain well to ensure they are not soggy.

4. Toss It All Together 🌈

Add the warm rice noodles to the prepared vegetables. Pour the warm Oktoberfest Mustard peanut dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated. Serve immediately while warm, or refrigerate and enjoy it chilled.
