A LUSH MIX OF GREENS, HERBS, AND MARIGOLD NOODLES TO KEEP YOU COOL

When the temperatures are sweltering outside, turn to this recipe for a crisp respite in the form of food as medicine. Alongside a lush bed of lettuce, aromatic herbs, and sulfur-rich veggies like radish, prepare some satiating noodles in under five minutes. The twist is that these noodles are perfect for your hottest days; they're chilled and tossed with the anti-inflammatory powerhouse, turmeric. This combination will soothe your tissues from the inside-out, keeping you hydrated and energized as the sun's rays hit your shoulders.

Ingredients:

1 8-ounces package rice noodles
3 cups of any mixed greens
1 cup snap peas, cut in half
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 small radish, sliced
½ cup coconut yogurt (suggested: cocojune or Culina for their mild taste)
1 teaspoon turmeric
Juice from ½ lemon
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup seeds (suggested: pumpkin or sunflower)
½ cup of chopped soft herbs (suggested: parsley, cilantro, basil, mint)
Salt + Pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook rice noodles according to package instruction. Once done cooking, rinse with cool water and set to the side.
While the noodles are being prepared, in a small bowl, whisk together coconut yogurt, vinegar, lemon, red pepper, turmeric powder, salt, pepper, and ¼ cup chopped herbs.
Combine rice noodles with coconut-turmeric sauce until all noodles are covered.
On a serving plate or bowl, place a layer of soft lettuce down, followed by the noodles, then cucumber, snap peas, radish, herbs, seeds. Finish with a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
