Instructions
- 1Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside in a colander to drain excess moisture for 5 minutes.

- 6Top each container with the toasted peanuts, seal, and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 days).
- 7When ready to eat, drizzle with your preferred Thai dressing and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
