Quick and easy Asian salad with zucchini, carrot, and cucumber spiralized into zoodles is crisp and refreshing.
Zucchini is my husband's new favorite vegetable to binge on. He had a green beans phase, then asparagus, and now it's zucchini.
I'm running out of ideas on how to make them. If they're not roasted they're stuffed with cheese. Oh, and they're grilled in summer.
📃Why it Works
This Asian salad scored multiple times: it's quick and easy, my husband got his zucchini, and I used my spiralizer that was hiding somewhere in a drawer.
Do you also need to have a gadget, even if you rarely never use it? Yes? Can we be friends, please?
But making zoodles is so much more fun!
However, carrots were a little harder to get through the spiralizer, and you could leave them out, but they add a nice color to the salad. I'm sure kids would eat their vegetables cut this way too.

Very, very healthy! Your grand daughter reminds me of Calvin & Hobbes who would only eat gross stuff. LOL. Worms and snakes sound yummy. :p
I see that you changed your header? It's looking crisp and clean. I like it! 🙂
Jas says
Yep, that's her 😀
I changed my header a couple of times and this is not final version. Working slowly on updating my site. Can't find a theme I like that is not too expensive. Free is my preference, though!
Ann says
Free is always good! 😀
Jas says
Yes, it is!
