Blue Plan (Freestyle™) SmartPoints® value 2*
Ingredients
1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp. plain rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. powdered peanut butter
1 tsp. sesame oil
Half a packet no-calorie sweetener (like the kind by Truvia)
1/4 tsp. crushed garlic
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
10 oz. (about 1 large) zucchini
2 tbsp. chopped scallions
1 tsp. sesame seeds
Optional topping: crushed red pepper
Directions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, powdered peanut butter, sesame oil, sweetener, garlic, and ginger. Whisk with a fork until uniform.
Using a spiral vegetable slicer, cut zucchini into spaghetti-like noodles. (Or simply peel zucchini into super-thin strips, rotating the zucchini as you slice it.) Roughly chop for shorter noodles.
Place zucchini noodles in a medium bowl. Add sauce, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.
Stir well, and top with scallions and sesame seeds.
