Always searching for a new way to use zucchini. I love thai green papaya salad so I substituted zucchini for the green papaya. This can also be topped with boiled shrimp or chicken breast. Ingredients:
1 large garlic clove, minced fine (use a garlic press) |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons asian fish sauce or 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, if fish sauce flavor is too strong |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 small asian red chile, chopped fine (substitute 1 tsp dried red pepper flakes) |
2 cups coarsly shredded zucchini |
1 carrot, shredded fine |
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, crushed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl whisk together dressing ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
2. Add zucchini, carrot, and cilantro to dressing, tossing well.
3. Salad may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
4. Bring salad to room temperature before serving.
5. Serve salad sprinkled with peanuts.
