Zoodle Salad

I got the inspiration for this salad from my friend Barb, who brought a zoodle salad to Bunco last week.  I knew I had to create something yummy to replace spaghetti salad, and this sure fits the bill!  If you have never made zoodles, you must try it.  You feel so much healthier than eating pasta, and it is sooo easy.  This little tool is not expensive, and it works like a charm.  Takes less than five minutes to zoodle your zucchini, I promise.

3 zucchini – zoodled

3 organic fresh mushrooms, diced

1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes

2 tablespoons pine nuts

1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles

Wildtree Basil Pesto Grapeseed Oil

Wildtree Apple Balsamic Vinegar

After you zoodle the zucchini, cut it into bit size pieces to make it easier to eat.  Add the remaining ingredients and drizzle with the grapeseed oil and balsamic vinegar.  Done!

Last night I had a ripe mango from Lakeland Organic that I needed to eat, so I had me some salmon with the mango and this yummy salad.  Delish and I felt so good for eating it!  Shalom!
