Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, shredded purple cabbage, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced fresh ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice to make the dressing.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the bowl of vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss everything together until well combined.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added texture and garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop further.
Enjoy your Asian Noodle Salad as a refreshing main dish or side!
