This easy raw vegan dish uses zucchini and carrots for the "noodles" / Raw, Vegan, Gluten-Free
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts or radish sprouts (spicy) (optional)
  • 1/2 cup crushed peanuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander/cilantro (optional)
Sauce
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or cashew butter, or a blend of both)
  • 2 tbsp lime or lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tamari (select a wheat free version for gluten-free diets)
  • 2 tbsp agave (or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger root, grated
Instructions
  1. Use a spiralizer (or mandolin or vegetable peeler) to create noodles from the carrot and zucchini. Place them in a large mixing bowl and top with the other vegetables.
  2. Whisk sauce ingredients in a bowl. The sauce will be thick, but will thin out after it’s mixed with the vegetables.
  3. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss. Best after 1 day in the fridge.
