Greeting fellow food and steemit lovers. How are you all today? Enjoying life and food are you? If not, this easy summer salad might change your mood.
It is gluten-free and 100 percent plant-based. Just the kind of "pasta-dish" I love. I have said this before, probably more then once hehe, but if you haven't tried swapping regular pasta or noodles for veggies noodles, then you are missing out. Believe me.
Not only do they taste better, they are just healthier and not drenched in glyphosate. A recent study found that for most people gluten aren't the issues, but glyphosate. Glyphosate, the active ingredient of Roundup Ready, is one of Monsanto's (or should we call it Bayer these days) widely used herbicides.
Just before most farmers harvest their wheat crop they spay their plants with this chemical to facilitate harvesting. Thes chemicals, who have been proven to be carcinogenic, end up in your bread, cakes, etc. But let's keep this topic to another post.
Let's talk spiralized veggies for lunch instead! They are easy to make and oh so good. Think I got a new favorite dressing here!
