Zucchini Noodles With Peanut Sauce

For the dressing:
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 tablespoon sriracha (or less)
1 tablespoon agave
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

For the salad:
1 1/2 lbs. zucchini
1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1/2 lb. cucumber, sliced into half-moons (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1 cup fresh herbs, such as: Thai basil, mint, cilantro (or a mix of all three), chopped

Make the dressing:
Place all ingredients in a small blender and blend until smooth. That’s it! Keep sealed and refrigerated until ready to use.

Make the salad:
Slice the zucchini lengthwise, on a mandolin or by hand, into 1/8 inch thick slices. Stack those slices and cut them length wise into long noodle strips. Or Cut ribbons using a vegetable peeler.
Toss the noodles with the dressing, reserving some of the dressing for drizzling. Taste for salt, and top servings with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and peanuts. Drizzle with extra dressing as desired. Finish with fresh herbs and serve!
