Isn’t this a beautiful spiralized salad.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow, my blog caught up with me. I had this salad ready to post but had not written anything about it. We had an earlier than I thought trip to Austin to welcome our new grandson (#6). Our daughter was in labor all of about 30 minutes before delivering little Frankie. He’s just the cutest thing.<\/p>\n

Then we had a trip to Missouri to check on my mother-in-law and spent a week there, all the time I never looked back at my post to see what was coming up.<\/p>\n

So, here’s my newest salad using my spiralizer. I kind of put the device back in my closet and forgot about it until one weekend we had friends over and I thought how good a refreshing salad would be made with cucumbers and zucchini.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let me know how you like it by leaving a comment in the “comment” section below. It was great with some bar-b-q that my husband made for the night.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST:<\/strong><\/span> This Bar-B-Q Shrimp <\/a>is so delicious and you really want to buy “heads on” shrimp. If you can’t find it then at least buy shrimp with the shells on. The liquid part of this appetizer or entree is great sopped up with some good French bread.<\/p>\n

Use your spiralizer* and make zucchini and cucumber noodles. I used my mandolin to cut the red onion and red pepper into very thin strips.<\/p>\n

Add in the cilantro, chopped or left whole.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for the dressing. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to toss the salad.<\/p>\n

Toss the noodle salad with just enough of the dressing to coat. Top with chopped peanuts (or pinenuts).<\/p>\n
