Thai food is one of my favorites, so I created this Spicy Thai Zoodles recipe. Those wonderful flavors created with lime, garlic, cilantro, chiles, coconut and lemongrass provide the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, salty and bitter.
This zoodle (zucchini noodle) recipe is a simple but flavorful take on Thai. It is not a 100% raw recipe but raw almond butter can be substituted for the peanut butter. A spiralizer creates zucchini strands that resemble pasta when salted.

Instructions
Spiralize zucchini to form noodles. Place zucchini in a large mesh strainer over a bowl or the sink and toss with a sprinkling of salt. Let sit for 30-60 minutes, till much of the liquid is extracted. Press zucchini with a few paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
Put remaining ingredients except toppings in blender or whisk to combine.
Combine zoodles and sauce tossing well. Let sit for at least 10 mins so the flavors can marry.
When ready to serve, squeeze a fresh lime wedge over each serving. Top with nuts and additional green onions and cilantro if desired.
