| Directions: | Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to cooling noodles to avoid them sticking together. Mix all prepared vegetables together in a large bowl. Add linguine to vegetables once it has cooled completely. Mix all dressing ingredients in a blender for 20-30 seconds. Pour dressing over salad and mix to coat evenly. (Add a little more soy sauce after the fact, if you need more punch and salty flavor.) |
