Categories : Dish : Salad Fruit
Lime Nuts
Vegetables Zucchini
4 large zucchini
2 limes -- juiced (1/4 cup fresh lime juice)
1 large Fresno chile or half a jalapeno -- seeded and minced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 clove garlic -- minced
Rounded 1/4 cup shelled roasted, salted peanuts
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes -- sliced in half
small handful chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Trim the stem end off of the zucchini. Using a mandoline, thinly shave the zucchini from pole to pole into beautiful long ribbons.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chile, brown sugar, fish sauce and garlic.
Set a small skillet over high heat. Add the peanuts and toast until they begin to char, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the heat, and finely chop.
Toss the zucchini with the dressing, tomatoes and cilantro. Sprinkle with the peanuts. Taste for seasoning (it may need a touch more salt) and serve immediately.

By drach4r Los Osos on June 25, 2012 A big hit with everyone.I added the sauce just before serving and the charred peanuts were a perfect touch. The sauce was amazing and really made the salad. Can't wait to make this dish for my next dinner party. Thanks Aarti.
By nancypaca on May 31, 2012 The best! I couldn't make ribbons as my mandolin wouldn't cut the zuke. So I sliced it thinly and it was still lovely. Am off to the store to buy a new mandolin so I can enjoy the beauty that everyone else raved about. Will make this again and again, with or without the mandolin.
By hcasio on May 30, 2012 this is a really easy, beautiful, delicious, healthy salad! What more can you ask? I didn't have a mandolin, so I used a sides-ways style vegetable peeler, and it worked great to make the ribbons. I put the ribbons in a bowl on top of the cut tomatoes the day before I took the salad to a potluck. Poured the dressing over immediately before we were going to eat, and sprinkled in the chopped peanuts. Everyone raved over the salad ~ the taste and how pretty the ribbons look! The bowl was scraped clean!
Enjoy!
