Love this simple, delicious recipe! I was worried this version was too simple to be a satisfying meal, but it is perfect. My old raw pad thai recipe was too heavy with nuts, this recipe lets you add as little as you want or as much as you need. I admit I used not raw lime chili cashews. I spiralized the zucchini into thin noodles and layered the bean sprouts, red peppers, cilantro into a very attractive salad. Non-raw folks will love it, good for a pot luck.
