It's summer again! Yay! This means raw food and lots of it; I often eat high raw in the summer as I feel at my best when eating light, fresh, and hydrating foods when the air is warm.
Cucumber noodles are my new obsession, I can't believe that before this year, I'd never thought to make them before, and now I have; I can't get enough.
I find I'm buying four cucumbers every week to make this Greek-style salad as it is incredible. I love all the elements and flavours that come together perfectly. I can close my eyes and remember being in Greece a few years ago, eating foods like this... It brings back many beautiful memories.
Putting the nostalgia aside, I find this recipe super beneficial for my well-being as I know it is nutritionally balanced, healthy, super hydrating, and delicious, all energizing and satiating me.
A spiralizer is a wonderful device to own if you enjoy making salads more exciting and you love how raw foods make you feel as much as I do.
There are different types of spiralizers, some work great, and others I've had in the past, not so much. I now use a stainless steel spiralizer and haven't looked back.
It works simply; you cut your vegetable of choice to fit in the device and turn the handle to make noodles. That's it!
Raw veggies in noodles or ribbons help create a more satisfying and enjoyable texture than ordinary cut salads, especially when consuming raw foods; you need that excitement to keep on track. I cut salads less often as they do not excite me near as much as I would require them to make them frequently, so having a spiralizer was a game changer. It helped me find and enjoy salads in ways I never thought possible.
Spiralizers are not expensive, and If you treat yourself to one, this cucumber noodle salad recipe should be the first one you should try; it's my new favourite, and because it's so quick and straightforward, I find I'm making this during my busiest work days.
I'm telling you, the flavour combined in this recipe, the pretty colours, and all the curly cucumber noodles are a thing of beauty on your plate, making sure that no one will resist a salad like this!
The perfect summer salad combining fresh cucumber noodles, salad veggies, chickpeas, dairy-free feta, and a side of both hummus and homemade tzatziki.
