Carrot and Zucchini Noodles
Carrot and zucchini noodles. The name sounds interesting, right? Yes, it is very interesting. My daughter always says that her momma gets excited only on seeing exotic vegetables, props for her blog and of course new contraptions that will be again useful for the blog. She is very correct. I had told her to get me a spiralizer when she visits me and had forgotten about it until the day she landed her and opened her luggage. I was surprised and overwhelmed to see that she had carried only gifts to her dad, Simba and myself. She did not even bring enough clothes. And one of the gifts was this spiralizer. You can imagine how excited I was to use that.
Similarly, I have been wanting to taste black carrot, which is available in winters in north India. Last week, when hubby visited Delhi, he was kind enough to get me some black carrots. Now that I had everything, I waited for an opportunity to make zoodles. This came in the form of the theme suggested by Foodie Monday blog hop where the theme was Low-calorie food. This carrot zucchini noodle salad is my contribution to the theme. The other zucchini noodles that I had prepared earlier was Zucchini pesto noodles. Time to make lot of this zoodles.

Congratulations on the new gadget (spiralizer) for your kitchen and you have already made a lovely recipe using the same. Delicious mix of vegetables. Such a thoughtful gift, I must add here.
Awww! That’s such a sweet gesture by your daughter! 🙂 Enjoy your new spiraliser – it is something I have always thought of getting too, but never got around to. 😛
The salad looks absolutely delicious. I love how you have included a myriad colours in it!
Black carrot?? I would love to try it. Love how beautiful and tempting the salad looks. Its such a joyous moment when kids remember to buy a gift that we love.
I miss black carrots so much here, though we get sometimes but not as sweet as we get in Delhi and adjoining regions.The salad looks so gorgeous with beautiful color. Spiralizer is something that is on my to buy list, I think time to get one for myself too!!What a thoughtful and caring gesture from your daughter!!
Spiralizer is such a lovely gift and you have done full justice to it with your post di ! The salad looks gorgeous !
I saw the Black carrots in the market today but was unsure of the recipe, I wish now that i had bought it so I can try this… Anyway will keep an eye out.
Looks like you ha perfect time with the spiraliser and wonderful salad
Lovely gesture of your daughter. So useful gift. Salad looks so colourful and delicious. Loved the picture. My vegetable vendor bought some black carrot but I was not sure about the taste. Now I will try it for sure. Lovely share.
You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful daughter.Love the riot of colours.Looks so delish and tempting.Fabulous share.
Such lovely zoodles, Veena! The play of colours makes the dish look very enticing, and the crunchy sesame seeds sound a perfect garnish. I have a spiralizer sleeping in a drawer and its high time I take it out and use it the way you have done.
Its so nice when the entire family pitches in with gadgets and ingredients, right ? Super kalakkal, Veena ! thats a thoughtful gift indeed and the salad looks delish… My spiraliser has gone kaput and I am wishing I find it back soon to dish out salads like these !
ahaaaa!!! its a lovely use of vegetable particularly in the form of noodles Brilliantly we can feed kids without any fuss ;P
