If you love spiralized vegetables as much as I do then you’re going to love this Thai Chicken Veggie Noodle Salad. The peanut dressing is so delicious, I like to personally make double so I have extra in the fridge for other meals.

Instead of a straight-up zucchini noodles, I wanted color (especially since the peanut sauce isn’t super pretty) so the colors of the rainbow inspired me:

Spiralized carrot for orange
Sliced red pepper for red
Purple Cabbage for purple (I love the look of purple in salads)
Chopped broccoli for a deeper green

I also added diced, cooked chicken and cashews to round it out into a full meal.

You can use whatever spiralized vegetables you like, to make it work best for your preferences.

I’m going to say something really important about veggie noodles, and I want you to pay attention.

It’s not about taking away pasta, wheat products, or extra calories. It’s about adding more vegetables in.

As a nutritionist, I want to say that pasta is not the enemy! Pasta is healthy for you. However, veggie "noodles" are a fun way to add more color and vitamins/minerals to your dish.
