Raw Beet, Carrot & Zucchini Salad

It’s been on my wish list for MONTHS, and finally I have it, the Paderno Spiralizer  (thanks to my hubby for this wonderful Valentines Day gift)!  It magically transforms vegetables into spaghetti, potatoes into spiral french fries, cucumbers into thin slices, and is capable of any number of other fantastical vegetable transformations.

Using blade C, the thinnest spaghetti blade, I decided to test my new toy and make a vegetable pasta salad.  The beets and zucchini squash turned out perfectly, making long “noodles”.  The organic carrots I had were a bit too small in diameter and only made pieces about an inch long.  I tossed them together with a homemade Lemon Feta Dressing, and garnished with a little more Feta.
