Zoodle Italian Salad
This salad is a little prep-heavy, but it is very simple and makes a huge batch--perfect for potlucks or dividing up for a week's worth of lunches. It tastes better after sitting for a day or two as the veggies have time to marinate in all that Italian dressing goodness.
Enjoy!
Zoodle Italian Salad
Set up your veggie spiralizer with several layers of paper towel, or a folded tea towel, to catch all of the zoodles.
Slice the tough ends off the zucchini/squash and start spiralizing, making an even layer of zoodles on the towels as you go. Once you have a nice layer (from about 3-4 zucchini), sprinkle evenly with approximately 1/2 tsp salt.
Enjoy!
Zoodle Italian Salad
- 4 medium zucchini + 4 medium yellow squash (try to get the straightest ones you can)
- 1 large English cucumber, peeled, seeded, small diced
- 1 small purple onion, small diced
- 1 medium bell pepper (green or red), small diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained, chopped
- 1 batch Paleo Italian Dressing (recipe below)
Set up your veggie spiralizer with several layers of paper towel, or a folded tea towel, to catch all of the zoodles.
Now, back to your zoodles. After several minutes, you'll start to see moisture soaking through the top layer of towels. In order to get the most water out of the zoodles, roll them up and gently squeeze.
