Upgrade your Pasta Salad: Vegetable Ribbons in Thai Peanut Sauce

Tis’ the season for backyard barbecues. While I haven’t met a pasta salad I didn’t like, it’s definitely easy to get in a rut and bring the same salad to every single cookout you’re invited to. My go-to involves tons of feta cheese, bright veggies and a Caesar vinaigrette. Break out of your comfort zone (and I promise to do the same) and switch up your pasta salad recipe this summer.

For a new twist on summer pasta salad, we used the 3-in-1 Spiralizer. Not only is the spiralizer easy to use, using the ribbon blade creates beautiful, long ribboned vegetables that we guarantee will make for a more impressive presentation than store-bought pasta.

We spiralized the vegetables and then covered them in a delicious, Thai-inspired sauce made with peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and red pepper. We also added cilantro and green onion to the mixture.

Refrigerate the ribbons for about an hour and serve cold. Right before serving, sprinkle the “pasta” salad with crushed peanuts for an added crunch and more green onions and cilantro. This salad is everything but run-of-the-mill and will definitely disappear at any summer gathering you bring it to.
