Bowl of noodles with zucchini and chicken – An easy and super-healthy lunch – packed with flavour. Zucchini noodles make a fabulous healthy swap for spaghetti, but have you tried it raw?

Lightly crunchy with a delicate flavour, it makes an ideal base for a salad as it’ll go with anything. Steak, mozzarella, salmon, feta – it even works with tuna. The noodles soak up the flavour of any sauce or dressing, so I like to serve mine with a strong peanut dressing – maximum taste in every mouthful!

This zoodle salad also has raw collard greens, as well as radish, peppers and carrots. So many veggies = lots of color = plenty of vitamans!

Serve on its own as a vegetarian dish, or top with shredded chicken to make it a more hearty meal.

The dressing also works great over a regular salad, and you can even use it as a stir-fry sauce. I like to make extra so I have some in the refrigerator for a stir-fry later in the week (along with a squirt of sriracha).

Healthy, quick, low on the carbs and tasty too. This zoodle salad ticks all the boxes!

Here’s what you’ll need for a delicious bowl of noodles:

Serves 2

2 small or 1 large carrot, peeled
1 small red bell pepper
2 radishes
1 medium zucchini
1 cup cooked shredded chicken
2 packed cups collard greens, cut into think slices
3 scallions, chopped
1 tsp sesame seeds
Small bunch cilantro, roughly torn
Lime wedges

Thai Dressing ingredients:

2 tbsp peanut butter
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2 tbsp honey
juice of ½ lime

Step by step preparation guide:

Whisk together all of the Thai dressing ingredient in a small bowl.

Peel and slice the carrots into matchsticks. De-seed and thinly slice the red bell pepper, cut the radishes into small slices.

Use a spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles. If you haven’t got one, you could use a knife to carefully cut it into long, thin slices.

Place the carrot, bell pepper, radishes, zucchini, shredded chicken, sliced collard greens and scallions into a large bowl.Toss everything together.
