Notes

This recipe was adapted from lifesambrosia.com

Here is a fabulously EASY way to dice or cube an avocado.  It takes less than a minute … so in this recipe when you take the salad out of the refrigerator, you will have more than enought time to cube and add the avacado(s) to your salad bowl.

 

If you are on any kind of low carb diet, including Slow Carb, Keto or Diabetic versions, I’m going to encourage you to get yourself a good quality, sturdy spiralizer.  It’s not only fun, it will help you get past your “pasta” cravings … and your food will look GREAT.   Get your kids involved, they will actually fight over who’s going to do the veggie prep and, they will actually EAT what they make!
