I tried a new recipe for spiral vegetable noodles today and.after tweaking the dressing. it is our new favorite salad!
Three different colored Beets, Daikon Radish, Zucchini and Carrots make the base. Here's the recipe- feel free to mix and match your own combination of vegetables..
Oodles of Noodles-serves 8-10
2 Daikon Radishes, peeled
1 Zucchini
1 Golden Beet, peeled
1 Pink Beet, peeled
2 Carrots, peeled
1 Red Beet, peeled
1/2 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing:
1/2 Cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp sesame oil
salt and pepper to taste
Using a spiralizer, cut all the above vegetable with your noodle blade. In a large bowl toss together all but the red beet. (I found the red beet would bleed and saved it for the top of the salad.) Add the cilantro and mix . (If your "noodles" are particularly long, cut them to a manageable length.)
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, canola oil, sugar and sesame oil and sesame seeds. Shake to mix well. Pour over vegetables. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate.
P.S. I liked the salad without any salt and pepper added..
Easy- tasty-fresh-crunchy! A great spring salad
