YUBA NOODLE SALAD

So many things are touted as 'miracle foods' these days, but invariably you find out the claims were false and the benefits exaggerated. I sure hope that doesn't turn out to be the case with these grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, low-cal, and quite delicious yuba noodles. So what's the catch? It's tofu.

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup shaved carrot strips, or to taste
¼ cup thinly sliced cabbage, or to taste

Steps:

Whisk vegetable oil, vinegar, peanut butter, honey, ginger, chili sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until dressing is smooth and creamy.
