Sesame Zoodle Salad

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.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Make salad: Trim ends from vegetables and cut into smaller pieces if needed to fit in spiralizer, then crank through to create spaghetti-size coils. Tear into manageable lengths.
Step 2
2
Make dressing: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add zoodles and cilantro and toss to coat.
