Raw Pad Thai Salad

Pad Thai Salad

(Serves 2)

Main dish:

  • 3 medium zucchini (spiralized)
  • 2 medium carrots (done with a flat thin spiral)
  • 4 to 5 radishes (flat, thin spiral)
  • 2 small sweet colored peppers cut into thin strips
  • the juice of one lemon
 Toss ingredients together and coat with lemon juice. Let sit at least 15 minutes to soften noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use your food processor to make short noodles. The texture will be different of course.

Dressing

  • 2 green onions
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1/3 cup ginger chopped (I love ginger but adjust to your tastes)
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 clementine or orange (ripe)
  • 1 heaping Tblsp of Tahini
  • 1/3 C coconut milk
  • 3 sage leaves
  • a couple of pinches of sea salt to taste.
whazz it up and adjust seasonings to your own tastes.

Add the dressing to the noodle mixture, toss and let sit for a half hour or so. The dressing will further soften the noodles. The noodles will soak up the dressing and be tastier.

Garnish

Add a handful of spinach, and a dozen or so basil leaves, chopped. Toss with the noddle mixture and serve on a bed of baby spinach. Add some sprouts to the top and I put on a cherry tomato.

Enjoy!
