Instructions

Creating the Vietnamese-Style Zucchini Salad with Peanut Sauce is straightforward. Follow these steps for an easy and delicious dish:

3. Mix the Peanut Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. For a smoother consistency, add water gradually until you reach the desired thickness.

4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the peanut sauce over the zucchini and carrot mixture. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

5. Add Cilantro: Gently mix in the chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.

6. Garnish with Peanuts: Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the salad before serving. This adds a delightful crunch.

7. Chill (optional): For a refreshing taste, let the salad chill for about 10 minutes before serving.
