INSTRUCTIONS
Cut up all the vegetables and mix together in a large bowl.
Heat the grill element of your oven and break up the noodles onto a baking sheet and toast for about 10 – 15 cm under the grill until golden brown. Keep a close eye as they burn quickly and shake the pan a few times during the grilling process. Set aside.
Dry pan fry the seeds until they start to pop and turn golden brown. Remove from the pan to prevent carry-over cooking and set aside.
Put all the dressing ingredients into an empty jar and shake around.
Toss the dressing, seeds, noodles and nuts together and serve immediately.
