I made Jamie Oliver’s PUNCHY CRUNCHY LAMB NOODLE SALAD
This week I made Jamie Oliver’s PUNCHY CRUNCHY LAMB NOODLE SALAD.
I had been craving a zesty noodle salad since last summer. And this totally hit the spot. I was so delighted to have leftovers for lunch!
Jamie Olivers Recipe called for Roast Lamb leftovers. However I cooked some Lamb Shanks in the slow cooker and they were a perfect match with this delicious salad too.
Jamie Olivers energy is just so positive and uplifting. And I can feel his vibe when reading his recipe books. I have been loving the Lamb Chapter in the “Save with Jamie” Recipe book I have borrowed from the library. I love it so much I will be getting my own copy.
As well as Jamie Olivers amazing Punchy Crunchy Lamb Noodle Salad, I have cooked Mothership Sunday Roast Lamb and Bad Boy BBQ Burritos. All amazing! I have falled back in love again with mint sauce.
So here is my version of Jamie Olivers Punchy Crunchy Lamb Noodle Salad.

For our kids, a deconstructed version of this salad is what rolls best. With the dressing in a separate little dish. So they can try different parts of the salad and taste test a new salad dressing before committing 100%!
