Ingredients

FOR THE SALAD

  • 2 medium zucchini - julienned
  • 3 large carrots - julienned
  • 3 English - seedless cucumber, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper - seeded and sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes - halved
  • 1.5 cups fresh cherries - pitted and halved
  • ¼ cup each fresh parsley - basil, mint, cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
  • cup macadamia nuts - chopped
  • 2 avocado - pitted and sliced or chopped
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Extra orange and lime wedges - for serving

FOR THE VINAIGRETTE

  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 lime zest
  • 2 teaspoon orange zest
  • .5 orange juiced
  • 1 tablespoon honey - or agave
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • Salt + Pepper - to taste

Instructions

  • Use a julienne peeler to carefully peel the zucchini, carrot and cucumber into thin noodles, peeling just until you get to the seeded part of the vegetable (in the case of the zucchini and cucumber). Transfer noodles to a large bowl and any leftover vegetable to a container for later use (it makes great vegetable stock!).
  • Prepare remaining ingredients- bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, fresh cherries, fresh herbs, green onion, macadamia nuts and avocado. Transfer to the same bowl as the vegetable noodles and gently toss to combine.
  • In a medium bowl or jar secured with a tight fitting lid, add all ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk (or vigorously shake) to combine. Season to taste.
  • When ready to serve, drizzle vinaigrette over the salad, toss well and garnish with sesame seeds, orange, additional and macadamia nuts, if desired.
