Notes

1. Fresh, crunchy and juicy, pre shredded carrots by Just Veg are available at Woolworths stores on the east coast of Australia. These pre shredded carrots are not only super handy to have on hand for quick salads, pop into sandwiches and wraps or to add into meals, they are made using carrots that are deemed “not good enough” for the stores that would otherwise go to waste.

Grown, shredded and packed by Aussie farmers in Queensland, this initiative to reduce waste and encourage Aussies to eat more fresh veg is underpinned by the drive of 5 farmers’ wives. Read more about their story in the post – you’ll love it as much as I do!

2. The Dressing can be served on the side if preferred.

3. To make this Gluten Free, use GF peanut butter and soy sauce (tamari) and leave out the noodles. Use crunchy fried shallots instead! (Sold in the Asian section of supermarkets)

4. Nutrition per serving. This makes two BIG servings! (Or 4 as a side).
