Egg Noodle Salad Recipe

This vibrant and surprisingly easy egg noodle salad is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a potluck contribution. We use inexpensive, fun-shaped egg noodles as the base, tossed with creamy avocado, crunchy veggies, and a zesty lemon-tahini dressing (don't worry, the lemon is subtle!). Make it ahead – just remember to prevent avocado browning with a squeeze of lemon juice before adding it to the salad. This recipe is budget-friendly, delicious, and sure to become a new favorite!

How to Make Egg Noodle Salad

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool quickly.
  2. While noodles cook, prepare the avocado: Dice 1 ripe avocado and immediately toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, diced avocado, ½ cup chopped red bell pepper, ½ cup chopped cucumber, and ½ cup chopped red onion.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon water, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to create the creamy dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and gently toss to coat evenly. Make sure to incorporate the dressing into the bottom of the bowl.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later (the flavors meld beautifully!).
