Zoodle Salad Recipe

Have you heard of zoodles? They’re a delicious way to get your veggies in, lighten up meals, cut back on carbs and still enjoy your meals. In other words, they’re a lifesaver and involve the nutrition-rich zucchini. Zoodles are technically zucchini that’s been cut with a spiralizer, turning it into zucchini noodles. If you get creative, however, you can “zoodle” almost any veggie!
If you’re new to the world of spiralizers, this zoodle salad is a great way to start. It pairs popular vegetables like cucumbers, radishes and, of course, zucchini, with a delicious, homemade avocado dressing. Kids will love it, adults will love it — you’ve got to try it!

Start by washing, peeling and spiralizing the radish, cucumber and zucchini. Then peel and slice the onion, chop up the peppers and julienne those carrots. I love all the fresh colors! Add the fresh vegetables to a big bowl, but save a few of the chopped ones for later.
Drizzle the homemade avocado dressing over the zoodle salad mix and use your hands or a rubber spatula to mix it all up. Divvy up the salad into bowls and top with the remaining chopped vegetables.

Losing weight is not my priority. I am a diabetic who wants to eat healthy enough to not have to be on medication. Portion control is also necessary. The shopping list is nice but I need to know how much is enough.
