This isn’t your typical noodle bowl.
Featuring raw zucchini noodles, crisp bell peppers and a creamy Asian dressing, this bowl is reminiscent of Pad Thai–> but much lighter on your system! Far easier to prepare, too, since there’s no cooking involved.
Try it for lunch one day, instead of your usual salad!

Quick Noodle Bowl
serves 1
Ingredients:
3 medium zucchini, spiralized
1/2 batch creamy Asian dressing
Veggies of choice (shredded carrots, bell peppers, scallions, etc.)
Directions:
Create zucchini noodles using a spiral slicer or vegetable peeler. (I find the spiral slicer is much quicker.)
Then simply whip up the creamy Asian dressing, toss it with the zucchini noodles and your favorite veggies, and enjoy!
*Note: Almond butter is often so naturally sweet, that I omitted the stevia in the dressing for this particular dish. As always, feel free to adjust these recipes to taste!
I love the combination of crunchy veggies with this creamy sauce.
Simple and delicious.
More proof that healthy meals don’t have to be bland or boring!

After this light, refreshing meal, I highly recommend indulging in a piece or two of raw almond butter fudge for dessert. I sure did!
Reader Feedback: How do you change-up your lunch routine? Any fun tricks to make your veggies more interesting?
Love this recipe! To bulk it up, sometimes we also do 1/2 brown rice noodles 1/2 zucchini noodles.
So fresh and delicious! I love your recipes!
Do you have to spiralize the zucchini right before you eat it, or could you do it the night before to bring it in a lunchbox for work? I’m wondering if the zucchini would get too wet if you did it the night before.
Thanks!
This is so yummy! I’ve been making this the night before for my next day’s lunch. The veggies soak up the almond dressing. So, so good!
Just made this for dinner. I wanted to love this recipe, but the dressing just didn’t do it for me. I think I’ll try it again with avocado oil and vinegar. Great concept though!
Just got the spiralizer and made this dish last night. It was better than the recipe read! We loved it, used a big zucchini and will enjoy the leftovers for lunch today. My wife kind of rolled her eyes when she saw the spiralizer, but it made the meal different and new. And the dressing is so easy!
Can’t believe how much we’re enjoying this site. Thank you!
