Spiralizing Vegetables

If you want to read alllll about spiralizing, julienning, or shaving vegetables into ribbons, click on over to the other spiralized salad recipe: Zucchini Carrot Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing. I talk all about the differences between these different cutting techniques. Did you know that "julienned" vegetables have very specific length, width, and thickness dimensions?? Yea, I didn't either.

The only thing I'll mention here are my favorite tools for spiralizing and julienning vegetables, so you can easily make delicious noodly crunchy salads:

This julienne peeler from Oxo is my favorite little tool to make spiralized / julienned vegetables when I am not making a huge amount (such as for this recipe). This peeler comes with a vegetable peeler, which is great for making shaved vegetable ribbons:

• 1 carrot - (medium)
• 2 oz feta cheese - (about 1/4 cup)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves - , finely diced

Lemon Garlic Dressing

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice - (from 1/2 lemon)
• 1 garlic clove - , minced
• 1 teaspoon sugar or honey - (optional, skip for a low carb version)
• Salt & pepper - , to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon each)
• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds - , toasted (optional)

Instructions

• Spiralize or julienne all the vegetables. Or cut them into ribbons with a vegetable peeler.
• Combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a fork. Pour the dressing over the salad. Add the feta cheese and fresh parsley, and mix well. Serve immediately.

Notes

This salad is best served immediately after adding the dressing, otherwise the spiralized vegetables release too much liquid and are less crisp. If you don't want leftovers, just dress as much spiralized veggies as you plan on eating, and store the rest of the dressing and veggies in the fridge separately until ready to eat.
