We used the thickest julienne blade on the Benriner Cook Help and the fine shredder (3 x 3 mm) blade on the Paderno 4-Blade Spiralizer to create our zoodles--the playful noodle-shaped spirals made from zucchini and other vegetables. You can also make the salad with straight strands cut with a mandoline.

Ingredients

 2 medium zucchini
 2 large carrots (any colors), scrubbed
 1 small golden or Chioggia beet, peeled

 2 tablespoons canola oil
 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
