The beauty of this meal is that it can be customized to suit your tastes - feel free to play around with the salad components, such as switching mandarin oranges for the pineapple, or adding chopped peanuts or fresh herbs, such as basil, mint or scallions. For protein, thinly sliced beef or chicken would be nice, as would baked tofu, sausage or shrimp.Also, it can be made ahead of time by making the dressing, and cutting up the ingredients. When it's time to serve combine everything together, and it'll come together in less than 5 minutes!

Ingredients
-
Salad:
1 cup pineapple, diced
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1 cup celery, diced (about 1 large stalk)
1/2 cup water chestnuts, diced
1/2 of an English cucumber, sliced thinly
4 cups fresh baby spinach, torn
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
6 oz. of bean thread (also known as cellophane) noodles
Dressing:
1 Tbsp. Sesame oil
the juice of 1 lime (about 1/4 cup)
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 onion, grated
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
1/2 cup of hot water
3/4 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. lite soy sauce
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. Sriracha or other chili garlic sauce
1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
Directions
1 - Combine all the dressing ingredients into a jar. Cover with lid securely, and shake until emulsified. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
2 - Dice up the pineapple, celery and water chestnuts. Shred the cabbage, cut the pepper into strips, tear the spinach and thinly slice the cucumber. Set aside.
3 - In a pot, boil water. Once boiling, add the bean thread noodles, stir and immediately turn off the burner. Allow to sit 3-10 minutes, until noodles are cooked to your desired consistency (we leave for 3-4 minutes). Drain, dry and mix with a little bit of dressing to lubricate noodles to avoid clumping.
4 - Layer each ingredient on plates, pour dressing on top, and serve.
