Ingredients

  • 1 Spaghetti squash 2-3 pounds
  • 1 cucumber peeled & chopped
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Handful of parsley chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp scallions chopped
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup Handful of fresh basil chopped
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp Sea salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Slice squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place in a roasting pan, flesh-side down and cook for 30-45 minutes. The squash is done when it is tender.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Using a fork, gently pull the flesh away from the peel. The strands wrap around the squash horizontally - so "rake" your fork in the same direction as the strands to make the longest "noodles."
  • In a large bowl, place the squash noodles and add remaining vegetables and herbs. Top with Lemon Basil Dressing and serve.
  • Lemon Basil Dressing:
  • Place the following ingredients in a Mason jar, apply lid and shake vigorously until well-blended. Adjust seasonings to your preference:
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Chopped fresh basil
  • Extra-virgin olive oil or flaxseed oil
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste
