Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in boiling water for 20 minutes. While the noodles are soaking, prep the vegetables and dressing.
Dressing
Combine all ingredients in a wide container and puree with an immersion blender. Alternatively, puree the ingredients in a standard blender.
Salad
Test the rice noodles to make sure they are thoroughly cooked, soaking for an additional 5 minutes if they are not cooked through. Once cooked, strain under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Drain noodles well, patting with a towel to remove as much excess water as possible. Cut the noodles into smaller pieces, if desired (scissors work well!). Combine noodles, vegetables, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss to combine until the dressing is evenly distributed.

This salad can be adapted to include/exclude other vegetables. Suggested additions are shredded broccoli stalks, edamame, pea shoots, shredded greens such as chard or spinach.1/4 tsp. cayenne or 2 tsp. sriracha can be substituted for the chipotle pepper if desired.Serves 8.
