Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Trim and peel the carrots. Thinly slice them into matchsticks. Pop them into a large bowl. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the courgette lengthways into long ribbons. Thinly slice the seeded core. Add the courgette to the carrots. Set aside.

  • 2.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Add the hot water to a large pan and bring to the boil. Trim any woody ends off the baby broccoli. Slice the broccoli into thirds.

  • 3.

    Add the noodles and broccoli to the pan. Simmer for 5 mins till the noodles are tender and the broccoli is bright green. Drain and rinse well under cold water. Add to the bowl with the carrots and courgette.

  • 4.

    While the noodles and broccoli cook, finely grate the lime zest into a clean bowl. Squeeze in the juice. Peel and finely grate in the ginger. Spoon in the honey and scoop in the peanut butter. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Whisk together to make a smooth dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  • 5.

    Pour the peanut dressing over the veg and noodles. Using tongs, toss the salad together till everything is coated in the silky dressing.

  • 6.

    Divide the salad between 2 bowls or plates. Tear over the coriander leaves to garnish and serve.
