- The noodles should be ready. Strain off the water and rinse the noodles with cold water. Shake off the excess water.
- Add the noodles and almonds, to the bowl with the veggies. Pour the dressing over the top. Using your hands or a large spoon, toss everything together until it’s evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
