Spiralized Raw Zucchini Salad with Avocado
Spiralized Raw Zucchini Salad with AvocadoAlthough you can easily make a salad by chopping it with a knife, I love using my spiralizer because it’s quick! A few spiralized salad favorites, Zucchini Noodles with Tomatoes and Pesto, Spiralized Summer Roll Bowls, and Spiralized Greek Cucumber Salad.
This salad was inspired by an amazing vegan appetizer I had in Seaside Florida prepared for me by the staff at Raw and Juicy. It was so fresh and simple, I knew I was going to recreate it at home. I added some cooked shelled edamame for some protein. The results were fresh and fantastic – a MUST try!
Hope you enjoy the recipe – it’s vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, clean, and delicious!
