Bowl of Noodles With Zucchini and Chicken – Simple Recipe

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?

Bowl of noodles

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).
