Instructions
Creating the Vietnamese-Style Zucchini Salad with Peanut Sauce is straightforward. Follow these steps for an easy and delicious dish:
1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, create long, thin strips of zucchini. Place them in a large bowl.
2. Add Carrots: Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the zucchini. These will add a lovely crunch and sweetness to the salad.
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.
