Shaved cauliflower and zucchini noodles? Oh boy, so excited to try these new flavors and textures together!
thank you for this list! what a wonderful resource, love the first one, the balsamic with apples (they’re not listed in the ingredients?), mine is more basic with chicken so love the texture/flavor of apples, and the other nice tweaks like white cheddar that you’ve added to it, great list!
Andie, thank you SO MUCH for adding my salad to this wonderful list! Definitely inspired to cook all of these!
