Instructions
To make this salad, start by preparing your pad thai noodles according to the package directions. Once they're done, drain the water from them and set them aside.
Next, boil your shrimp and allow them to cook until they're pink and fully cooked through. This should take approximately 4 minutes.
Once the shrimp are done, set them aside and prepare the dressing by mixing the dressing ingredients together, in a small bowl, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Then, set the dressing aside while you prepare the salad by chopping all of the veggies, and adding them to a large bowl.
Pour your dressing on top, then toss to fully combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to two days.
