Peanut Lime Rice Noodles
Peanut butter and lime form a dressing for rice noodles, with carrot and cucumber providing crunch. It works as a lunch where the vegetables stay raw and the main cooking job is the noodles. Thin the dressing before tossing; trying to spread thick peanut butter through a tangle of noodles makes it much harder to coat them evenly.
