Ingredients

  • 1 (3 lb.) spaghetti squash
  • 2 medium Gala apples cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup roughly chopped pecans toasted in a dry skillet
  • 2 green onions white & green parts, thinly sliced
The dressing:
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a large, sharp knife, pierce a spaghetti squash in several places. Place the spaghetti squash in a glass baking dish and cook in the microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, turning the squash halfway through cooking. The cooking time will depend on the strength of your microwave. When pressed, the skin should be soft enough to depress slightly, but not so soft that it’s collapsing.
  2. Before handling, let the squash stand for 10 minutes. Cut it in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and fibers. Using a fork, twist out strands of the spaghetti squash flesh and place in a large bowl. Cover and chill.
  3. Add pecans, apples, and green onions, and stir well.
  4. Toss with the dressing. Serve.
The dressing:
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, agave nectar and salt.
