A client asked us to produce some different kind of salads and not those built on traditional salad greens. They wanted a veggie-based salad using no lettuce of any kind so in comes our spiralizer to the rescue. A spiralizer can create spaghetti like strips and ribbons of zucchini, squash, beets, carrots and other vegetables and those become the base of the salad. Toss with other vegetables, fruits, nuts and cheeses and you have a new way to eat salad – and a beautiful presentation too!
Here is a great resource for using this wonderful appliance. Not only does this site show you how to use it, but also the health and other benefits of spiralizing.
We created theses salads using ours.
Basil Almond Zucchini Salad
Pictured above is spiralized zucchini noodles, toss with some sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, pesto and slivered almonds and drizzle with red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes.
Apple and Pear Salad
This salad features fresh apples, pears, seedless grapes, fresh mint and walnuts all tossed with a honey poppyseed dressing. How refreshing for summer.
Veggie Slaw Salad
Matchsticks of zucchini, red pepper, carrots, onion and yellow squash tossed and sprinkled with corn and then nestled on a bit of spring mix for color
For even more ideas on what you can spin in a salad you can almost never run out of ideas.
