It’s easy to eat a rainbow with the summer bounty now in local markets!

O.K. there are two things I need to talk about in this post.

1. OMG local blueberries are in store finally!

2. Have you tried the ‘spiralizer‘ gadget yet? I am in love, love, love!!

First off, I was so happy to see the first of the local Ontario blueberries arrive at my market last weekend. I bought tons and tons, so be on the lookout for lots of posts using these little gems coming soon. Who doesn’t love blueberries? What’s not to love? They’re packed with antioxidents, they’re sweet, juicy and just so darn delicious.

Layout 1 Now on to #2 – this wacky gadget. It’s called a spiralizer. I must say I was sceptical, but once I tried it, I am totally hooked! It will make long gorgeous ribbons or noodles out of almost anything… carrots, zucchini, parsnips, onions… anything. It is so fast and easy, amazing. The one I use is the World Cuisine Tri-Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer.

Layout 1 Hey, I guess you’re wondering about a recipe? What did I make with all my fresh blueberries and amazing zucchini noodles? How about a deliciously yummy rainbow salad? So summery, and so good for ya.

Rainbow Zuchhini Noodle Salad For my rainbow salad I used what I had on hand; blueberries, slivered almonds, red pepper and green onions. You can use any veggies you prefer, cashews, pumpkin seeds, red onion, celery, radish, beets… the goal is to eat a rainbow Rainbow Zuchhini Noodle Salad_4 The zucchini noodles can be eaten raw, but I like to toss them in a pan with a bit of canola oil and garlic. Sauté for just a couple of minutes (any longer and they get watery and mushy) and you’re ready to enjoy. They are great as a side dish to a meal, a substitute for pasta with sauce or eaten warm or cold in a salad. It makes eating your veggies so much fun… sorry small things make me really happy. Cheers.
