You will feel 10,000 times healthier after finishing this bowl of summer goodness. I promise you.  Eat this for lunch and you can walk around for the rest of the day all smug like because you consumed all the vegetables in one sitting.  And it tasted good.  Not just “Oh I’m eating my vegetables and these aren’t too bad” good.  Like, really good.  Authentically good.  You want to polish off five servings good.

Don’t take my word for it.  Make this salad and you won’t be sorry.  It won’t take you long.  Do you have a julienne slicer yet?  If not, buy this one immediately.  It took me four minutes to prep the “noodles” for this salad.  At $9.95, it was one of my best kitchen purchases in a long time.  You’ll love it and you’ll love this salad, too.

    Wowza this dish looks incredible! I still have yet to buy a peeler/slicer. I am thinking I will need to purchase the one you mentioned through Amazon.

    This salad sounds so delicious! I’ve had trouble getting my kids to eat zucchini. On the other hand they love spaghetti so maybe, just maybe they’ll give this dish a try, considering that they love both corn and bell pepper.

      My kids don’t like regular, cooked zucchini, but they are definitely more open to eating it in noodle form. I think it’s a texture thing for them. Meghan mostly prefers raw vegetables to cooked.

      Do it! I don’t try to fool myself into thinking I’m eating pasta or anything, but the shape and texture really make them a great vehicle for salads or sauces.

    Salad rich in fiber, vitamins A, C and K and still low in calories. You can check other minerals and how much this recipe covers your recommended calorie intake on our Recipe Analyzer

    This looks fantastic. I was just thinking about making a squash salad, and wasn’t sure which way to go.

    I notice that you use great northern beans a lot. Are they just a favorite of yours, or is there a specific nutritional reason you use them (outside of protein)?

      There isn’t a specific nutritional reason I use great northern beans over other beans, they are just a favorite! I like their size and texture a lot.
