For my family reunion this last Saturday I brought one of my favorites substitutes. Pasta!! Well it wasn’t the carb laden dish it usually is, this was one of the healthiest versions I’ve seen. The reason why this is so healthy is the whole dish consists of organic local vegetables. The main ingredient which I use many ways, is the “noodles.” They are raw zucchini shredded with a special peeler you can find here.

Don’t peel the whole zucchini peel until you hit the seeds save the rest of the zucchini for another recipe. I’m grilling mine with dinner this week.

Pasta salad

This made a ton of food I recommend just one small zucchini per serving per person.

6 zucchini peel the outer meat until you hit the seeds

2 large cucumber

1/2 lb green beans

1 bunch of small carrots

1 lb of tomatoes

2 tbs of basil

Lemon vinaigrette

1 lemon juiced

1/4 c apple cider vinegar

1/2 c of extra virgin olive oil

1 tbs Dijon mustard

1 tbs of minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Whisk together. Pour desired amount over the salad and save the rest.

I can’t wait for all of you to try these noodles whether you try this recipe or pour over your favorite sauce them this is a great way to still enjoy a dish you may have memories  associated with but be just a little bit healthier 🙂

Sharing healthiness and happiness,
