Spiralized Pasta Salad

As I’ve mentioned in the past, sweet potatoes are my favorite spiralized vegetable.

I refer to them as “poodles” 😉

In the summer haze of social gatherings, you tend to find yourself munching on hot dogs, cheese plates, pasta salads and burgers. In an effort to lighten things up a bit I’ve created this pasta salad made completely out of vegetables!

The blend of sweet potato “poodles” and zucchini “noodles” are a match made in heaven. Since they are both raw, this dish embodies the same texture as “al dente” noodles. Score! 

This recipe is vegan and raw friendly with just a few swaps. It’s truly a dish that everyone can enjoy.

• Simply omit the mozzarella for a healthy vegan option.
• Raw enthusiasts can swap the roasted tomatoes for raw.

Ingredients:

• 2 Sweet Potatoes, spiralized
• 4 Zucchinis, spiralized
• 1 small Red Onion, peeled & spiralized
• 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, roasted
• 1 cup Mozzarella cubes (Or you can use shredded)
• 1/2 – 3/4 cup Garlic-Dijon Cashew Cream

Directions: 

1. Spiralize: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes, Zucchini and Red Onion and set aside in a large bowl.
2. Blister the Tomatoes: Simply put your tomatoes in a frying pan and heat on medium-high heat until they start to blister. About 8 minutes.
3. Plate for Serving: Throw all ingredients listed in a large serving platter and add Garlic-Dijon Cashew Cream. Toss together with tongs until well coated  and mixed together. Add more Cashew Cream, if necessary.

Additional Ingredient Suggestions: 

• Raw or Roasted Cashews
• Chopped Parsley
• Roasted Chicken
