Jicama Zucchini Salad

Jicama Zucchini Salad has been my new "salad of the week". And it uses a spiralizer. You can't beat that! Everyday Food published this recipe using cucumber instead of zucchini. I chose zucchini because I find it to be a little more filling. I currently have cucumber in the house and will be tempted to try this dish as written.

The Salad:

1-2 zucchini (spiralized)
1/4 jicama (spiralized)
1 tsp honey (or to taste)
fresh lime juice (I use 1/4-1/2 lime depending on the size of my salad.)
salt and chili pepper (to taste)

Mix together and serve!

Wasabi Coleslaw

Wasabi coleslaw is my new favorite summertime salad. I have made this coleslaw using extra wasabi and I loved the heat. I have also used less wasabi and more brown sugar; creating a sweeter taste. I prefer it the "wasabi way"; whereas my partner prefers the sweeter version. Either way it tastes light and refreshing.

Wasabi Coleslaw

Mix together 2 TBSP of wasabi paste with 3 TBSP rice vinegar, 1 TBSP vegetable oil, 2 TBSP (or less) brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 package of broccoli slaw. Yum!

Makes 3 - One cup servings.

The wasabi dressing would also taste great mixed with cucumbers as an alternative to the broccoli slaw.
