I always love a noodle salad. This one is filled with lots of yummy veggies and has a delicious almond butter dressing on it. I made this for lunch but if you wanted a heartier meal I would add some grilled chicken or shrimp to the top. it will save in the fridge for a few days. Enjoy!
A S I A N N O O D L E S A L A D
Whole wheat spaghetti noodles
2 carrots, shredded or sliced with veggie peeler
2 zucchini, spiralized
5 green onions sliced
1 can chick peas, rinsed and drained
sesame seeds for garnish
DRESSING
1/4 cup almond butter
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Cook spaghetti according to package. I cook an entire package but only used about half the noodles for the salad. Drain noodles and set aside in a large bowl. In in carrots, chickpeas, spiralized zucchini, and green onions. Toss all together.
Whisk dressing in a separate bowl and then toss salad with dressing. Top with sesame seeds. This is great cold or room temperature.

I often get questions about favorite kitchen tools so I wanted to share a few including the spiralizer I used for this recipe. I just recently bought this spiralzer and I am obsessed. It has 4 blades so you can spiralize large or small noodles, slice things like a mandolin, or shred. You can also use it as a juicer. and did I mention its under $25?? Worth every penny.
I use this all the time. It is great for chopping nuts for salads, chopping herbs, making small batch salsa and the list goes on.
This thing is a game changer for making soups and it is on major sale right now. Was $65 now only $28!
I use my garlic press almost daily. It makes finely chopping garlic so easy and its dishwasher safe, so easy clean up. If you don’t have a garlic peeler you need one. You place the garlic in the tube roll around a bit with your hands and then the skin comes right off.
This is great for when you are cooking and especially handling raw meat and don’t want to touch anything. I love this hand soap for refills.
These are awesome for meal prep or lunch on the go. I love the 2 part ones but they also come with a 3 part option as well.
These are technically not a kitchen tool but I had several of you message me after I showed these on instastories. I recently bought these stainless steel cups for the kids and we are loving them.
Do you put the kid cups in the dishwasher? I looked in the notes on the product page but didn’t see anything…
yes they are dishwasher safe, i have washed ours several times.
Do you cook the zucchini?
no it is raw.
