My Asian-inspired pasta salad is crunchy, tangy and light. If you have fresh herbs, like basil or cilantro, on hand, add them to the mix. —Kelsey Casselbury, Odenton, Maryland

Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon grated fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces thin rice noodles
1 cup julienned zucchini
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1 celery rib, sliced

Directions

For dressing, mix first six ingredients. Sprinkle steak with pepper. Grill, covered, over medium heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°), 6-8 minutes per side. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare rice noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again. In a large bowl, combine noodles, vegetables and steak; toss with dressing.

Editor's Note: Salad can be made ahead, refrigerated and served cold.

This was delicious! We had it a couple of nights ago and my husband raved about it. We weren't able to find a suitable zucchini, so we added bean sprouts and sliced cucumbers. I think most any raw veg would be good in this. The dressing is a definite keeper and I'll be using it in other dishes. The creator of this dish knows how to put together a wonderful Asian taste.
