Do you have one of the vegetable spiral gadgets? I just got one for under 10 dollars. It’s been the best 10 dollars I have spent in a long time. I love it! My son and I made this fresh and delicious dish in just a few minutes. All raw and all done with the spiral maker and mini chopper. We ate this raw, you can put in the microwave for under a minute to warm up but, either way this is one fabulous dish. For those of you that want to add some protein, for vegan and vegetarian additions, try chickpeas, small white beans go well. For other protein, grilled salmon or chicken tastes delicious. This is one versatile recipe that everyone will adore.
