<br>HG's Cold Sesame Zucchini Noodles
<br>
<br>Open Sesame!
<br>
<br>Forget crop tops and rompers -- zucchini noodles are THE summer trend to adopt. And they work perfectly in this peanut-sauced, no-cook dish...
<br>
<br>Prep: 10 minutes
<br>Chill: 15 minutes
<br>
<br>Ingredients:
<br>1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
<br>1 1/2 tsp. plain rice vinegar
<br>1 1/2 tsp. powdered peanut butter (or defatted peanut flour)
<br>1 tsp. sesame oil
<br>Half a packet no-calorie sweetener (like the kind by Truvia)

<br>1/4 tsp. crushed garlic 

<br>1/8 tsp. ground ginger

<br>10 oz. (about 1 large) zucchini 

<br>2 tbsp. chopped scallions
<br>1 tsp. sesame seeds
<br>Optional topping: crushed red pepper
<br>
<br>Directions: 

<br>To make the sauce, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, powdered peanut butter (or peanut flour), sesame oil, sweetener, garlic, and ginger. Using a fork, whisk until uniform.
<br>
<br>Using a spiral vegetable slicer like the Veggetti, cut zucchini into spaghetti-like noodles. (If you don't have a spiral veggie slicer, peel zucchini into super-thin strips, rotating the zucchini as you slice it.) Roughly chop for shorter noodles.
<br>
<br>Place zucchini noodles in a medium bowl. Add sauce, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.
<br>
<br>Give mixture a stir, and top with scallions and sesame seeds.

<br>Fight it! 
<br>Cold Sesame Noodles, Average
<br>
<br>Cold Comfort...
<br>
<br>Chilled noodle dishes can be quite deceptive. A steaming plate of spaghetti in meat sauce is clearly a calorie situation, while seemingly innocent cold sesame noodles slide under the radar. But, hello... It's still carby pasta dressed in a sauce made from peanut butter and oil! Not the best use of your calorie budget. Luckily, we've got two secret weapons: zucchini noodles and powdered peanut butter! Slash starches and excess fat, get more veggies in your life, and be the envy of any onlookers... That's using your noodle!
