What is lemongrass?
Lemongrass is my new favorite ingredient (picture below). You may have started to see it in your produce section, it looks like reeds that should be growing in tropical marshes, but can actually be grown at home. Lemongrass is a fibrous plant of the grass family that has a wonderfully lemon scent and flavor mostly used in Asian cuisine.

For this recipe, it is used in the dressing. Let me tell you about this dressing. It is so good! And it serves double duty. Along with dressing this salad, I used it as a marinade for grilled lemongrass chicken skewers, that I served with these noodles for a complete meal.

When it comes to the type of noodles, it basically comes down to what is available to you in your grocery. For me that was udon Asian noodles.
Gluten free noodle option
I have also made a gluten-free option of this recipe. Just replace the noodles with gluten-free spaghetti and use tamari instead of regular soy sauce for the dressing. This lemongrass vegetable noodle salad is best served room temperature, but it also makes the best leftover when eaten cold or warmed up.

I’m so glad I was able to find lemongrass because this salad was a hit at a friends bbq party last weekend. I’d also love to try it with your lemongrass grilled chicken.
I second the other comments here. Lemongrass is amazing. I can never tire of it.
Luckily fresh lemongrass is not hard to come by in this part of the world…in fact I use the leaves every day in my chai.
I use multigrain millet noodles for your recipe and it was absolutely delicious!! I will be making this for the next family gathering. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe
Thank you so much for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the dish.
I LOVE lemongrass – so fresh and vibrant. we also love “cool” noodle dishes during the summer heat, this is perfect, thank you!
Janette this dish looks so completely tasty! I looooove anything lemongrass and can’t wait to try it!
The lemongrass is gorgeous! Love it. And this dish looks so refreshing for summer. Would love to try it. How did you embed the video? I’ve tried several times to watch it and it just won’t load.
This looks and sounds spectacular! I too, recently found lemon grass and just love it!
I have only seen lemongrass in those tubes at the grocery store — they never have fresh lemongrass. Maybe I can try Whole Foods, because our regular market doesn’t have it.
Love lemongrass! This salad looks fantastic!
