Thai Noodle Salad

Love this Thai noodle salad!  I needed to use up a few things in my fridge, so to do that I made this Thai noodle salad.  It’s super yummy, raw and very nutritious!  Vegetables are most nutritious in their raw state. I used my spiralizer to make this Thai noodle salad.  I just love that thing!   This healthy salad is also grain free.  I used zucchini for the “noodles.”  If you like this, you may also like my zucchini pasta with avocado pesto.

I used my Thai Peanut Sauce for the dressing.  I was out of peanut butter, so I used almond butter and it worked out great.  I highly recommend keeping the vegetables and the dressing separate until you are ready to eat the salad.  Spiralized vegetables can release moisture making the dressing too thin and soupy.

    Recipe Notes

    If you like, you could always add your favorite protein to this dish. I know tofu would go well. Edamame would also be good on this. I highly recommend keeping the dressing and the vegetable separate until you are ready to eat. The vegetables can release water that might make the salad soupy. This should keep in the fridge for at least 5 days. Enjoy!

    1. This sounds delicious. I think I would add some grilled chicken chunks to make it a whole meal salad. I also like the idea of adding edamame. This kind of recipe is great for when I don't have a stove (we don't have a stove when we're at the beach) - and my spiralizer is a tool that will continue to make the trip to the beach because it is so useful. Looking forward to trying this.
    2. Oh yum! This is definitely dinner tonight!! I love when I already have the ingredients on hand. Can't wait to try this.
    3. Yummy yummy....I made this tonight and it was so good. It's a quick and light dinner I will be making again and again. Thanks
    4. Thanks Melissa for this great post. I like the way you organize things and present the recipe with simple instructions. I ate Thai salad once in a local pub and it was amazing, so I will be eager to try doing it myself using your wonderful recipe. Thanks again.
