Lay the spinich down on a large platter. With the spiral cutter, cut thin spirals using the apples,and cucumber. Using the spaghetti attachment, cut the zucchini, summer squash, cucumber, and carrots. Place on top of the spinach. Chop the celery in 1/4 inch pieces. Crumble the goat cheese. Add remaining ingredients and toss with the oil and vinegar. Super healthy and hard to believe it's all raw. The spiral cut is key to this gorgeous dish.
Ask a question about this stepThere are a lot of different spiral slicers on Amazon...which one do you use?
Hi dymnyno, to do this recipe I used a brand called "Spiralschneider" by German chef Johann Lafer by LURCH.( you can google it ) prices are quoted in german however, I located this one in a store called "Home Goods" check internet for a location nearest you. I see you are a finalist, congratulations... I am going to try your recipe this weekend. Ciao.
I gotta have a spiral slicer!!!! I love raw salads and this ones has many layers of flavors and textures going.
Hi dymnyno,
I love raw salads too as you prob. guessed :)
Try the following slicer, just be careful of the blades when cleaning (really sharp).
This is the one I use " World Cuisine Tri-Blade" Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer about $30-36.00 - the ones under $20 are not very good.
Happy Eating....
Gosh, the spiral slicer really makes a difference in eating more good healthy food. And in this salad combination there were no leftovers at my little party! Bravo to this delicious combination.... you almost need no dressing at all... Buy the way, my husband and his male friends did eat more than their normal share. :)
thanks Matia...
Yesterday I say a spiral slicer, rationalised it away - didn't need it, couldn't see why. Well, I'm going back!!!!!!!!
you wont regret it!
That is beautiful. I can't wait to make it. So healthy.
Originally created this exciting salad to entice my husband to eat more vegetables by disguising them using the spiral slicer, and at the same time moving away from the traditional types of salads that can be quite boring after a while. Needless to say it worked!
