Spiralizing Transforms Ordinary Zucchini into Extraordinary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m pretty sure \u201cspiralizing\u201d was the<\/em> culinary trend of 2014; a trend that\u2019s still going strong way into 2016. With good reason \u2014 it\u2019s the ultimate low-carb, gluten-free, grain-free way to increase your vegetable intake while enjoying something that sort of resembles comfort food p-a-s-t-a. I said sort of. In this case, spiralizing zucchini dresses up what could be a so-la-la looking dish into a flamboyant, all raw salad, that\u2019s exploding with flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n

Spiralizing Options (Spiralizer, Julienne Peeler or Mandoline)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, I did embrace this trend a couple of years ago and invested in this “pencil sharpener<\/a>\u201d version of a spiralizer. But this is the spiralizer that I would use if I actually had more room in my kitchen. This is the kind that you can spiralize sweet potatoes, candy cane beets, and all those other vegetables that don\u2019t fit into a pencil sharpener. But, since our kitchen is super small, I still resort to using the one I have and a new gadget, my julienne peeler (okay, admittedly my mandoline can also do this, but that thing scares me, those blades are razor sharp!). It works like a charm. Maybe you don\u2019t get those pretty, twirly, extra-long noodles, but it\u2019s quick and easy \u2013 and takes up no space at all in my little urbanite kitchen.
