Bright + Tangy Raw Zoodle Salad

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini and/or yellow summer squash l skin left on
  • 1 large carrot peeled
  • 2 cups fresh green beans par boiled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • a handful of fresh cilantro leaves
  • a small handful of fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 red or yellow chili pepper
  • 1/4 cup raw peanuts chopped

Dressing:

  • 1 fresh large lime juice and zest
  • 1 Tbsp tamari or coconut aminos
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove fresh garlic minced

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot filled with a few inches of water to a boil. If you have a steamer basket then you can use that.
  • Once boiling, add in your green beans, reduce heat to medium and steam for about 2-3 minutes, or until beans are just crisp tender but still bright green. Do not overcook.
  • Immediately dunk green beans into an ice bath (a large bowl filled with ice, and icy-cold water) then allow to completely drain/air dry in a colander or on towels.
  • Thoroughly wash your zucchini squash and trim off the ends.
  • Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles; aka zoodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can simply run a vegetable peeler down the length of the zucchini to create thin ribbons.
  • Next peel and shred your carrot.
  • Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Roughly chop your cilantro leaves, mint leaves, and peanuts.
  • Slice the chili in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Mince the chili and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk lime juice & zest, tamari or coconut aminos, sesame oil, minced garlic, and raw honey. Whisk until very smooth.
  • Now place your zucchini noodles, green beans, carrots, cilantro, mint leaves, tomatoes, and chili into a large serving bowl.
  • Drizzle your dressing on top and gently toss until well combined. Refrigerate to enhance the flavors, for about 20 minutes.
  • Top with chopped peanuts, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
