RAW PAD THAI WITH SPICY ALMOND SAUCE

Tamarind paste, a staple in Thai cooking, has a distinct sour flavor. You can in well stocked supermarkets. I got mine at Whole Foods. I made it optional here, but I highly recommend you seek it out! It's only a couple of dollars, and it will keep for a long time.
Ingredients
For the Spicy Almond Sauce

• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste optional
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or to taste
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup water

For the Pad Thai

• 6 cups spiralized or peeled zucchini about 2-3 zucchini

• 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage

• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

1. To make the sauce, combine the almond butter, lime juice, tamarind paste (if using), ginger, garlic, and sriracha in a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt. Thin with water until it is a thick but pourable sauce.
