- Transfer the noodles to a large serving bowl. Add the avocado cubes or slices, onions, chopped cilantro and sesame seeds to the bowl.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Drizzle in enough dressing to coat the portioned amount.
- Use your hands to gently toss the mixture until every single strand is coating in dressing.
- Serve the noodle-less pad Thai with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of extra chopped cilantro and the black sesame seeds.
- I love to use my zest scraper to create a cool pattern in the skin of the lime when I have guests.. looks so fancy and tropical! –
- Store the leftover vegetable salad separately from the dressing and dress just before serving.
