Simple Spiralized Summer Salad

I have the Safe Skins Spiral Vegetable Slicer from Kitopia. It creates long spaghetti-like strips of vegetables in two different sizes. The slicer comes with a storage bag, finger guard and a cleaning brush.

So far, I've spiralized carrots and cucumbers. When I use the finger guard that comes with the slicer, I end up massacring the end of the vegetable, so I tend not to use it. Otherwise, this kitchen gadget makes eating vegetables fun.

I think it would be fun to make pickled beets using the slicer. I'm working up the courage to make zucchini "pasta." If I like it, it will be a nice substitute since I'm on a low-carb diet.

Easy Spiral Slicer Recipe

The following spiralizer recipe comes from Kitopia. The company sends you an e-book filled with recipes when you purchase the spiral slicer.

Dressing

• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional)
• Add salt to taste

Salad

• 8 medium carrots, cut with the spiral slicer (use orange and purple carrots)
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 large avocado diced

Preparation

1. Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl.
2. Place the vegetables in a large bowl.
3. Add the dressing to the vegetable; toss to incorporate 
4. Serve

When I make this, I omit the lemon juice, add lime juice to taste and add about a 1/2-bunch of cilantro.
