I use almond butter instead of peanut, due to allergies. This is my favorite salad and sauce! I often just make the salad & sauce, then add grocery store roast chicken for for a quick meal. The salad holds in the fridge for several days without cucumber.

Thai noodle salad recipe makes a big bowl and you may want to have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the entire week it is so good! I left out: *the cucumber (gets soft over a week),*jalapeno (Siracha spicy enough). *I used cashew butter instead of peanut butter due to its mild taste which lets other flavors shine through.
My experience with rice noodles is that they can get very soft. I bought Barilla brand 100% red lentil spaghetti (Fred Meyer, Target, Amazon). Holds its shape and provides protein & fiber.
I wondered about the mint, but it is amazing in this salad. Overall, a winner recipe that everyone will love. I found small containers of organic Thai Basil & mint at QFC. Red Boat Fish Sauce is at PCC, Costco and many other stores.
