These sesame zucchini noodles are a lower carb version of traditional Chinese sesame noodles. They are easy to make and perfect for the summer because they can be eaten hot or cold.
Sesame noodles are one of my favorite summertime dishes. Noodles are tossed in an easy sauce and can be enjoyed warm, room temperature or cold. This zucchini version is even lighter and more refreshing.
This weekend we had a few friends visiting and did a full weekend food crawl. If you viewed all the food I ate on Instagram stories, I swear I don’t always eat like that. By Sunday, I was starting to feel it and my stomach really wanted a rest. And now, I really am just craving a lot of greens to counter all the meat, fried food, and sweets we consumed over the weekend. These noodles are a good start.

This recipe is amazing. The dressing is a perfect combination of ingredients. The only change I made was to put the zoodles spread out on a tray in the oven at about 200-230 degrees Fahrenheit for a while. They stay warm till I am ready for them and I found they dried out better than on the stovetop. Thanks.
Thank you Debbi! We’re so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
