Instructions

Make the dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined.
Cook the noodles. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions or make the zucchini noodles.
Prep the remaining ingredients. Slice the cabbage, dice the cucumbers and bell peppers, remove the cilantro leaves from their stems, and coarsely chop the peanuts or cashews.
Pack the bowls. Divide the rice noodles between five meal prep containers. Top with equal amounts of prepped cabbage, cucumber, and bell peppers.
