Weeknight Recipe: Cold Linguine and Peanut Sauce

This is an easy recipe to make the night before or transport (camping) as it can all be done ahead of time and it's served cold.

Ingredients
  • 1 pkg. linguine
  • 3 breasts cooked bite-sized chicken
  • 2 cucumbers (squeezed and cut length wise)
  • 4 carrots (sliced lengthwise)
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • Sesame seeds

    Peanut Sauce
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup sesame oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

    To make peanut sauce combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a fork until smooth. You can add more peaunut butter until you get the consistency you are looking for.

    Toss the peaunut sauce over cooled linguine noodles, chicken and vegetabes. You can garnish with sesame seeds if you wish. The peaunut sauce will keep in fridge for a week.
