This Paleo Sweet Potato Noodle Salad has become a quick warm-weather favorite in our house. It is so light, refreshing and satisfying! If you have picky eaters in your house, this is a great dish because you can serve it with all of the ingredients separated. Everyone can mix and match with their favorite toppings.
In this recipe, I use Korean noodles made from sweet potato starch. They are completely gluten-free! You can grab them here. I found them at a local Asian market for a little bit cheaper. The noodles on their own have very little flavor, but they are perfect with lots of vegetables and a tasty sauce. These noodles would also make a great alternative to rice noodles in my Paleo Pho recipe!
