Ingredients

Salad

2 cups organic zucchini spiralized
2 cups carrots spiralized
1 cup red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 cup English cucumber spiralized

Peanut Dressing

¼ cup peanut butter smooth
2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium recommended
1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for vegan option
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger fresh, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons water to thin the dressing
¼ cup roasted peanuts chopped, for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Veggies. Using a spiralizer, convert the zucchini, carrots, and cucumber into long, elegant noodles. Arrange them artfully in a large salad bowl, and add the thinly sliced red bell pepper.
Make the Dressing. In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth. Add water one teaspoon at a time to reach the desired creamy consistency.
Dress the Salad. Pour the dressing over the spiralized veggies. Toss gently to ensure even coating while retaining the vibrant colors and textures.
Garnish & Serve. Top with chopped roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro just before serving to maintain their freshness and flavor burst.

Notes

For an added kick, sprinkle a touch of chili flakes over the salad before serving. Consider adding sliced avocado or edamame for extra texture and protein.
