fall salad zucchini ribbons recipe

If you don’t own one already, drop what you’re doing and buy yourself a Japanese spiralizer. Throw in a zucchini, whirl it around, and welcome yourself into a whole new world: pasta made from raw veggies. We don’t know what we did before spiralizers and aren’t giving up our veg-tastic obsession any time soon. Try zucchini “spaghetti” with raw marinara sauce if you’re a tomato freak or keep it simple and toss larger zucchini ribbons into a light salad. We love this recipe from Elizabeth Stein of Purely Elizabeth. As a natural foods pro herself, Elizabeth gets it when it comes to making healthful eating more accessible and, most importantly, more delicious. We recommend you make this recipe right away: once you try it, you’ll rely on it again and again…
