Herb Noodle Salad – Spicy Peanut Butter Dressing

June 23, 2014 By Jittery Cook 2 Comments

I confess. It’s rare that I can chat with anyone for more than 2 minutes without slipping her a JC business card. Friends and family roll their eyes, smirk and giggle but like a well dressed noodle wending its way from plate to palate, I’m unrestrainable.

And now for that well dressed noodle. I dare you to try just one forkful without becoming fondly attached.
