Digestion-Boosting Sesame Noodle Salad

Ingredients:

• edamame linguine

• purple cabbage

• asparagus

• baby kale

• microgreens

• black sesame seeds

• lime juice

• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

• grated ginger

• 1/2 tbsp avocado oil

• 1 tbsp organic coconut aminos

• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Sautée a bunch of asparagus by covering a pan with 1/2 cup water (add water as needed if the pan gets dry before they're ready). While asparagus are steaming, boil water for edamame noodles, and cook following directions on package. Be careful not to overcook the noodles (they should only be in the water for a few minutes) and rinse with cold water immediately after straining. Combine sesame oil, ginger, avocado oil, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar and either mix until well-combined or blend for a creamier texture. Add lime juice to microgreens and baby kale and let sit. Once asparagus are steamed until desired softness, rinse with cold water, dry, and slice sideways into about 2-inch pieces. Mix all salad ingredients, top with dressing, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Superfood highlight: black sesame seeds are one of the most ancient condiments (the old school version of Trader Joe's seasonings), and can boost digestive health due to high fiber content, as well as unsaturated fatty acid that can lubricate intestines for smoother digestion. Try grinding them into a powder or soaking overnight for easier digestion. Forget Miralax powder and load up on Noodle Salad to get things moving.
