This. Changes. Everything.
Seriously.
Size, shape and texture can make ALL the difference. Here’s a perfect example. It makes veggies go down much better and also adds a lot of fun variety!
Slivers – shred veggies to top salads or even add to soups
Ribbons – peel or mandolin into very thin strips for a “fettuccine” vegetable, top with sauces as a pasta replacement or layer into baked veggie dishes (think lasagne or enchiladas), stir fry, steam and use as a “bed” for chicken or fish
Spears – cut into wedges to use with your favorite dips, spreads or hummus, bake or even stir fry
Waves – slice into thin, thick or wavy circles or ovals to make a side veggie, grilled kabobs, dipping discs, soups and more
Spirals – great for angel hair replacement, Asian “noodle soups,” raw salad toppers or a artistic side dish
