Asian Zoodle Salad

Last week, our family returned home from a wonderful Southern California spring break vacation. Aside from wanting to sleep in my own bed, I was also looking forward to getting back in my kitchen. No more hotel morning breakfast buffets. No more fast-food lunches. No more ordering meals from a sit-down restaurant day after day.  

Don't get me wrong, it's fun for the first day or so, but after that it gets old very quickly. Before leaving on this trip I was eating healthy and clean by eating whole foods and very little processed meals. That didn't last very long on the road. If I am honest with you, when you take your family to Disneyland, eating healthy balanced meals become less a priority and hitting as many rides as you can possibly go on becomes the mission of the day. Now that I'm home, I feel gross and sluggish. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to get back on my healthy eating regimen.  

Does any of this sound familiar? Sometimes it takes a beautifully plated healthy dish to kick-start my way back into a better routine. After all, we eat with our eyes before we eat with our mouths. Visual appeal matters, and today I have a gorgeous Asian Zoodle Salad that is made with zucchinis that have been spiraled into noodles and other vibrant vegetables that make it both colorful and delicious. I love this salad because it is a great healthy alternative to its pasta counterpart. It is loaded with flavor and color and never weighs me down. In fact, its a dish you will never feel bad about eating.
