The best gluten free Peanut Miso Noodle Salad! Full of flavor, lots of color, and so many nutrients. This noodle salad is one of the best nourishing meals I have made in a LONG time! I seriously cannot get enough.

The peanut miso sauce will have you hooked immediately- its so simple and SO delicious. Pro tip: you can use this sauce for so many other things, so it’s great to keep in your back pocket. Think spring or summer rolls, chopped salads, with chicken skewers, etc. It’s versatile, gluten free, dairy free, and made with simple ingredients!

This salad makes a delicious weeknight dinner, or it can even be prepped and enjoyed for a few days of amazing meal prep! It makes great leftovers- you can enjoy this chilled or more room temp. However you prefer!

Feel free to serve this noodle salad with any protein you love. I personally love this dish with some tofu!

How I make my air fryer tofu:

I press the liquid out of a block of tofu, dice it into cubes, and toss it with a little avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. You can use any spices you love!

I then stick it in the air fryer at 400°F and cook for a bit until it has sort of puffed up and has a bit of a crisp to the outside. I just keep an eye on it and take it out when it looks cooked to my liking! Super simple and works like a charm.

This dish would also be amazing with shredded or grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, tempeh, or steak. So many ways to enjoy this amazing salad- I am obsessed!

I would love to know if you give this dish a try! Leaving a rating and review of the recipes you make is so helpful to me and to other readers- thank you so much in advance :)! Enjoy! xo

  1. Emma says:

    Made this tonight for dinner and for lunches all week. I didn’t have miso paste and couldn’t find any, so I just left the miso out and it was still really good. I would make it I again even without miso!

  2. Julia M says:

    Can’t rave about this enough! So much flavor and you finish it feeling full and satisfied. Going to make this a monthly staple.

  3. Kaitie says:

    Made this dish for dinner and it was amazing! It had the perfect balance of sweetness and spicy. Really simple, especially if you prepare vegetables and sauce ahead of time. Thanks for a fun meal!

  4. Bianca says:

    Made a batch to bring for lunches for the work week – had it today and it was so delicious. Good ratio of noodles to veggies, and the sauce is soo flavorful! I topped with teriyaki marinated/pre-baked tofu and just ate it cold with everything else. Such a yummy lunch and kept me full for hours!

  5. Sydney says:

    Made this for me and a friend and was a huge hit!! Added edamame as a protein source and some broccoli, as well. Great and easy recipe and excited to have it for leftovers tomorrow!

    • Mia Swinehart says:

      Ooh I love the edamame addition I need to try that!! So happy you loved it thank you so much!! Xo

  6. Katherine says:

    10/10 SOO gorgeous, healthy, and filling !!! I don’t have sriracha so I replaced it with some Korean red pepper chili powder instead and it was delicious. Best ever for lunches 😁

  7. Jaclyn Gordon says:

    I am obsessed with this dish!! I love how many flavors there are but it is so simple, healthy, and nourishing. I can’t wait to make it again! 🙂

  8. KS says:

    Made it and put it into rice paper for some summer rolls! Ate it cold – super refreshing and savory

  9. Nicole says:

    One of my favorite meals, possibly ever! I actually cook all the veggies until just soft enough and serve this hot, but any way is delicious. My veggie hating husband loves this as well 🙂

  10. Michaela says:

    just a quick question-what kind of peanut butter should i use for the dressing?

  11. Rose Darcy says:

    So easy and satisfying!! Love this recipe. I use half the sriracha and it still has a nice bite.

  12. Kierstin says:

    I made this today for lunch. It was yummy and satisfying, but it took a LONG time to prep everything. Like over an hour for me.
    I added julienned cucumber right at the end before serving and topped with toasted sesame seeds. I omitted the cilantro, but think it would be great with some finely chopped mint as garnish as well 🙂 I will eat the leftovers tomorrow with some shredded rotisserie chicken.
