Zoodle Salad with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

This post is fun for me in every way. First of all, this is my happy salad! Zoodles with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce is bursting with flavor.

I could drink the sauce. Well, maybe not drink… but surely over-pour.

The zoodles (zucchini noodles) just take it to the next level of curly fun.

Lastly, this salad is so very healthy for you. Do you see why this salad makes a girl happy?

Healthy Salad with Good Carbs

There is a healthy prescription for veggie carbs in this recipe.

You cannot go wrong with all of these colors. Look at them.

Not only is a variety of herbaceous plant colors good for you, but they look fantastic!

Feel free to customize each to your liking. Throw in literally anything you want.

I’ve chosen some of my personal favorites; multicolor peppers, zucchini (zoodles), and my personal BFF, cilantro.

I know, I know, there’s definitely a love-hate relationship with the cilantro situation.

Yes, of course, you can totally skip that. No judgment here. The salad will still be fabulous and delicious!

Get healthy.
A year from now you will wish you had started today.

Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

Peanut sauce is super fast and easy to make. FYI: No, you do not have to make it spicy.

It has minimal ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. The sauce is very versatile.

It pairs well with any protein, plays well with appetizers, doubles as a dip, and of course, works great as a dressing for salads.

You can store it in your fridge safely for approximately a week and keep pulling it out whenever the mood strikes you.

A Salad with Protein

This salad has your ever-important protein, which in my book, is always a better choice!

I used rotisserie chicken, and I always include a lot of it.

But do not despair. The chicken in this recipe can be skipped completely, replaced, or supplemented with beef or seafood also.

Don’t forget the natural peanut butter too. PB adds a whopping dose of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals as well.

Zoodles Ideas – Zucchini Noodles

Zoodles? They are just as much fun to eat as they are to say!

Plus, they are a kid-friendly way to increase the vegetable quotient in your home.

I make zucchini noodles with a spiralizer, a spiraling machine that I absolutely love.

It is so fast and easy to make any kind of noodle. Check out a vegetable spiralizer HERE. (affiliate links)

Typically, I will make lots of zoodles at a time and then store them in the fridge. As a result, I am set for a week’s worth of meals.

Slide them in sauces; in addition, throw them in breakfast dishes or casseroles.

If zucchini is not your thing, you really owe it to yourself to try a spiraled version of another kind.

Spiralized vegetables or fruit work great in many recipes.

You can try sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, squash, and apples, to name a few.

And finally, here’s the delicious recipe!

Instructions

1. Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Prepare zoodles. Wash and cut peppers into thin strips. Wash and chop cilantro.
2. Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Or… I like to store each ingredient in separate, smaller bowls so I can make a custom salad for myself throughout the week!

Notes

The sauce lasts approximately 1 week in refrigerator.
