I love peanut butter! I ate this for a 3PM snack when I got home. I am usually very hungry and this totally satisfied me and I loved that the peanut butter gave me a little love to my sweet tooth!
I always have a batch of zucchini shredded into noodles in the fridge and I had the peanut sauce ready to go. All I had to do when I got home was put the two together! I enjoyed it cold, but you could warm it first if desired.
Noodles:
4 cups zucchini, cut into noodle-like strips
*I used my handy-dandy tool: The Spiral Slicer
Peanut Sauce:
4 TBS natural peanut butter
4 TBS hot water
2 TBS aged wheat free tamari sauce (fermented soy sauce)
1 1/2 TBS Swerve
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
Peanuts for garnish: I made chili lime peanuts...recipe to come:)
In a small bowl combine peanut butter and water; mix until a smooth paste forms. Stir in soy sauce, then Swerve, cayenne and lemon juice. Mix by hand until well combined and smooth. Mix with the zucchini and enjoy! Makes 4 servings.
Option: add chicken or shrimp to make this one hardy meal!
