Instructions
Start by prepping all the vegetables. Spiralize the zucchinis and carrot using the blade that makes spaggheti-sized strands. Pat the zucchini noodles dry with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. (If you don’t have a spiralizer or julienne peeler, don’t panic. You can either shave your zucchinis and carrot with a vegetable peeler or slice them into matchsticks with your chef’s knife.) Thinly slice the onions and cabbage.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk all the ingredients for the dressing.
Add the vegetables and cilantro to the bowl with thte dressing and toss to coat.
Divide the salad among plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped almonds and plenty of lime wedges, and serve immediately.
