Notes
- If using dried herbs, 1 teaspoon parsley and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill and add to the dressing. Dried herbs should be added to the dressing so they can rehydrate.
- This works by spiralizing carrots too but we prefer the delicate texture of peeling with a vegetable peeler. Prep carrots a few days ahead of time and store them in cold water in the fridge (they're fun for snacking too!).
- You can substitute another sweet/tart dressing of your choice.
- You'll likely have some cores or some bits that are too small to peel. Snack on them or chop them and add them to soups or casseroles.
