A Quick and Easy Salad Made with Veggie Noodles
This is one of the easiest salads to make! The veggie noodles are not cooked. All you have to do is place them in a bowl and add the dressing and herbs.
You might be thinking raw beets and butternut squash in a salad?
Yes, it's true and it's delicious!
Veggie Noodle salad is slightly crunchy and similar to the texture of coleslaw. It's a little bit sweet, it's lemony, minty and refreshing. It's a great side for your favorite burger or steak sandwich.
If you can find veggie noodles pre-spiralized in your supermarket, you will save even more time. If pre-spiralized noodles aren't available, you will need a spiralizer to make the noodles from veggies.
