Asian Asparagus and Zoodle Salad

This Asian Asparagus and Zoodle Salad is a simple yet satisfying vegetarian meal or side that puts a variety of healthy veggies on your plate. The quick boil method means you won’t be standing over a hot stove for very long and you’ll only have the one dish to clean up afterward. You can tweak the dressing ingredients to taste and maybe add some garlic and pepper or chili oil for some extra depth if you tolerate those ingredients well. Don’t forget to omit the egg if you’re on the AIP or another egg-free diet!
