Ingredients

Salad
  • 1 spaghetti squash approximately 4 cups of flesh, medium
  • 1 red onion diced, small
  • 1 red pepper (diced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup basil or 1 tablespoon dried, fresh
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (reconstituted and chopped)
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2-3 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 1/3 teaspoons oregano dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder (optional and omit for AIP)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice squash in half, lengthwise, and remove the fibrous strings and seeds. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place facedown on a foil–lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° F for 30-40 minutes or until the squash pulls apart in “spaghetti” strings. Cool. Alternatively, cook the spaghetti squash in a Pressure Cooker for a much faster (and cooler) alternative (see notes above).
  2. Using a fork, remove the squash's flesh and place in a medium bowl.
  3. Add in all other Salad Ingredients.
  4. Place dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to mix well.
  5. Pour over salad, then toss and serve.

Notes

  • Sun-dried Tomato Tips: If you would like to make your own sun-dried tomatoes, see Homemade Sun-Dried Tomatoes. Otherwise, purchase an organic variety without additives.
  • Dried Pepper Option: You may use 1/2 cup dried mixed peppers instead of the peppers. You might wish to reconstitute them a bit first.
