How to Make Zoodle Salad

Have you heard of zoodles? They’re a delicious way to get your veggies in, lighten up a meal, cut back on carbs and still enjoy your dish. In other words, they’re a lifesaver and involve the nutrition-rich zucchini. Zoodles are technically zucchini that’s been cut with a spiralizer, turning it into zucchini noodles. If you get creative, however, you can “zoodle” almost any veggie!

This zoodle salad pairs popular vegetables like cucumbers, radishes and, of course, zucchini, with a delicious, homemade avocado dressing. Kids will love it; adults will love it — you’ve got to try it!
