Asian Spiralized Noodle Salad
A bowl of raw vegetables with fresh-made dressing that doesn’t consist of lettuce and tomato? Yes, please! Whoever said a salad has to use iceberg or romaine as a base, obviously hasn’t tried my Asian Spiralized Noodle Salad recipe yet.
This fresh salad is the perfect dish for the season – it uses zucchini, which is still in steady supply around the summer farmers markets, and it uses butternut squash, which is just starting to make its way into the markets. Give these veggies a pop of color with red bell pepper and some zesty flavor with green onion and cilantro. Dress it all up with a flavorful dressing made with Marukan seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a few additional seasonings. The result is a dish that will make you feel healthy and vibrant and will hopefully set you up to make great food choices for the rest of the day.
This is summer eating at its freshest! Enjoy!
