Receta Pineapple and Red Pepper Noodle Salad - Recipe for Ramen Noodle Salad
It’s only the end of May and it already feels like the middle of summer!
This Pineapple and Red Pepper Noodle Salad is a crunchy noodle salad with a bright tasting Teriyaki flavored dressing. It fits incredibly well with the sweet red bell pepper and strips of ripe pineapple.
To avoid ending up with "limp noodle" version of this salad, add the dressing just before serving.
I included chopped cilantro in this salad but if cilantro isn’t your thing, try chopped green onions instead. I think they would be equally as good!
What I love about this recipe is you could easily toss in some chicken or shrimp and make it a quick dinner for two. It's also a great option for when you're in the mood for a healthy summer salad but not up for rinsing, draining and chopping lettuce.

Make this recipe with even LESS effort!
Instead of coring and peeling a fresh pineapple, drain canned pineapple slices and slice them into strips or simply add drained pineapple tidbits.
Make the dressing the day or night before.
