Spiralized Cucumber & Garlic Yogurt Salad

9/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Ingredients:
  • 5 large cucumbers, Spiralized (Without spiralizer, slice in long, match-stick pieces)
  • 8-10 sweet mini peppers, de-seeded & chopped
  • ¼ cup Garlic Greek Yogurt Dressing
    • OPA! Garlic Greek Yogurt Dressing*
    • OR this semi-homemade recipe
  • OPTIONAL: 1 cup WG Linguine Noodles

For folks following the Naptown Nutrition 28-day challenge (vegetarian), I suggest utilizing the semi-homemade dressing recipe as the OPA! dressing is not 100% veg-plan-compliant. Ingredients include: NON FAT GREEK YOGURT (CULTURED SKIM MILK, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, CORN STARCH, TAPIOCA STARCH, CARRAGEENAN GUM, LOCUST BEAN GUM), WATER, CANOLA OIL, DISTILLED VINEGAR, MALTODEXTRIN, GLUCONIC ACID, SUGAR, SALT, DRIED GARLIC, SEASONING BLEND (DEXTROSE, SALT, NATURAL FLAVORS, MODIFIED CORN STARCH), SPICE, XANTHAN GUM, CARRAGEENAN GUM, ACACIA GUM, ROASTED GARLIC PUREE (GARLIC, WATER, NATURAL FLAVOR, CITRIC ACID), NATURAL FLAVOR.
