A quick, colorful, and healthy spiralized veggie noodle bowl with a zesty lime dressing and crunchy nuts, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini (spiralized)
  • 2 large carrots (spiralized)
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup snap peas (trimmed and halved)
  • ½ cup red cabbage (thinly shredded, optional)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley)
  • ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds or chopped peanuts
  • 1 small avocado (sliced, optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini and carrots to create about 4 cups of noodles.
  2. Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers, trim and halve the snap peas, and shred the red cabbage if using. Place all in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
  4. Add the spiralized zucchini and carrots to the bowl with the other veggies. Pour the dressing over and toss gently to coat. Drain excess liquid if noodles release too much water.
  5. Divide the veggie noodle bowl between serving plates or bowls. Top with chopped cilantro, toasted nuts, sliced avocado, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. If preparing ahead, keep dressing separate and add just before serving.

Notes

Use firm zucchini and carrots for best spiralizing results. Avoid overdressing to prevent sogginess. Toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden for extra flavor. Keep dressing separate if preparing ahead to maintain crunch.
