Zucchini Noodles Salad with Creamy Thai Peanut Dressing serve din a plate garnished with peanuts and cilantro

I love salads, and recently I have been trying out new healthy and tasty recipes. I generally make Thai Peanut Noodles in the Instant Pot, and everybody loves it.

So today, I am sharing a new variation of Thai Peanut Noodles by replacing regular noodles with zucchini noodles (zoodles). Also, try Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Sauce from my blog.

Ingredients

  • Vegetables: I have used the spiralizer to make zucchini noodles.  I have shredded red/purple cabbage, diced carrots into julienne, and cut the red bell peppers into thin strips. Used frozen shelled edamame which is then de-frosted and rinsed.
  • Fresh Cilantro - Fresh herbs like Cilantro adds a freshness to this salad. Don't skip it.
  • Peanut dressing: This homemade Thai peanut salad dressing can be made in advance and enjoyed for 4-5 days when refrigerated. It is prepared with creamy peanut butter, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, maple syrup (or brown sugar), lime juice, sesame oil, and salt.
  • Roasted peanuts: I have used store-bought roasted salted peanuts, or you can roast raw peanuts at home.

How to Make Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles

Make the dressing:

Add the smooth peanut butter, minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, and salt to a jar.

Stir well with a whisker until well blended, and keep aside. For a thinner dressing, add water as required until you get the desired consistency.

For the Salad:

Firstly, trim the zucchini's ends and use Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer or spiralizer machine, spiralize to make zucchini "noodles." Next, chop other veggies into thin strips.

Add zucchini noodles, red cabbage, red bell pepper, edamame, carrots, and cilantro to a large mixing bowl.

Serving Suggestions

Thai Peanut Zucchini salad can generally be eaten on its own since they are filling and flavorful. But they also taste great with Soups on the side.

Variations & Tips

  1. If you have a peanut allergy, then replace peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter and toasted peanuts with toasted cashews.
  2. You can replace sesame oil with coconut oil or olive oil.
  3. Add the baked tofu, cooked chickpeas, and steamed broccoli for extra protein.
  4. You can add vegetables of your choice.
  5. You can also prepare peanut dressing in a blender or mini food processor.
