The flavours here are some of my absolute favourite! Ever since my husband purchased the spiralizer, salad making has become less mundane. Love a great Asian-inspired dish!

I could totally dig a handheld spiralizer. I can’t justify storing a regular one so I use my julienne peeler. I like this ! And this salad is totally what I need right now after a trip. Looks so refreshing and vibrant. I’d have lots of energy after eating that for lunch.
