Fire Salad

I brought this to the Book Club Meetup last night and it was a big hit. Several of the ladies asked for the recipe so here you go!

Fire Saladshock

1/4 C Olive Oil
3 Tblsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
3 Tblsp Honey
2 Tblsp Soy Sauce
1-1/2 tsp Salt

8 oz. Spaghetti Pasta

2 tsp Cilantro (chopped)
1/4 C Roasted Peanuts (chopped)
1/4 C Green Onions (minced)
1 Tblsp Sesame Seeds (toasted)

Combine first six ingredients in pan over low heat, until honey is runny.
(More honey makes it sweeter. More red pepper makes it hotter.)

Pour over cooked pasta. Marinade at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally. (This is great marinated overnight.)

Before serving, add rest of ingredients and toss. (You can add this and let marinade too.)

Double this if you like and it will feed about 15-20 people as a side dish.

  1. This has become a favorite in our family! I find that it's even better the longer you let it sit--overnight marinading is definitely the BEST! Now if only I could keep Ryan from eating the peanuts before I get a chance to make this dish...LOL
