This is probably the easiest and healthiest pad thai recipe you will find. It basically is just chopping, blending, mixing and you have a beautiful healthy raw vegan pad thai inspired meal!
Zucchinis and cucumbers make a perfect noodle substitute if you want something lighter and healthier. They are slightly crunchy, but if you let them sit in the dressing for a few minutes to half an hour they soak it up and get softer and more flavoursome. Perfect!
The dressing is sooo creamy and delicious! We were a bit sceptical about blending mango with peanut butter, but it turned out to be a delicious combination! I think the lime juice really makes it come together and brings out the flavours, and making it a bit spicy with chili adds a bit of a punch and who doesn’t like that? At least we loved it, and we hope that you do too. We also had a lot of fun making this recipe together, and taking the pictures.
It’s just so colourful, how can we not?
