Pasta soaks up this tasty peanut sauce, so don't worry if it looks watery; it will thicken as it sits. If you're taking your salad to go, stir in a couple of teaspoons of hot water to thin out the sauce right before you dig in.

Ingredients
Method
In large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil; gradually whisk in hot water until smooth. Add pasta, peas, green onions, zucchini and carrots; toss to coat.
(Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 6 hours; stir in hot water, 1/2 tsp at a time, until sauce reaches desired consistency.)
Sprinkle with peanuts.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: Toss leftover cooked pasta with vegetable oil before storing it in the fridge. That way, the noodles won't stick together.
