Chef John’s Thai Linguine Salad

 

I have been making this amazing Thai Noodle Salad, using Linguine, for years both for dinner guests at my personal home and for my many clients. It is so delicious and can be served at room temperature or heated up. It’s great with salmon, chicken or flank steak. If you like more spice, you can add more sambal sauce. I truly hope you give this recipe a try – you are sure to enjoy it!
