Tarragon Ponzu Noodles
with Tomatoes & Crispy Kale
Ponzu is a salty, citrusy sauce used in Japanese cooking. We toss juicy grape tomatoes and ramen noodles in our orange ponzu sauce with a touch of tarragon, a leafy herb with a subtle licorice flavor. The bright, fresh citrus flavor complements crispy kale in this high-protein, high-fiber dinner.
