Xanthan Gum Free Ginger-Lime Zucchini Noodle Salad

This vibrant, refreshing salad is everything you want on a warm day — bright citrus, a little heat from fresh ginger, and a satisfying tangle of vegetable noodles that somehow feels both light and filling. The dressing comes together with a simple whisk: lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, olive oil, grated ginger, turmeric, and a touch of honey for balance. There's no thickener needed here, and that's the beauty of it — the dressing clings naturally to the noodles without any additives, making it a genuinely clean option for anyone avoiding gum-based stabilizers that sneak into so many bottled sauces and dressings. Salting the zucchini and letting it drain before tossing is the key move that keeps everything from turning watery, so you get noodles that actually hold their texture. Julienned carrots add a little crunch and color, while scallions and cilantro bring a fresh, herby lift throughout. A scatter of torn mint and a squeeze of lime at the table takes it over the top. It's the kind of dish that looks impressive but comes together with minimal effort and a short ingredient list.
