Personally the one I don’t like speaking is carrots. You lose half of it and most of the “noodles” are maybe an inch long because they are so skinny. I haven’t had a problem with beets staining my spiralizer as long as I rinse it when I’m done and run the dishwater into the sink as I do the rest of the cooking. Plus I like using both the greens and the leftover tops in smoothies for breakfast.

How would on package compare to the number of cups spiralized?

In reply to Nicole. Trader Joe’s makes a fantastic pre-spiralized carrot noodle!

For the recipes in which you use purchased spiralized veggie noodles, it would be helpful if you would give an equivalent amount/weight if one is using fresh veggies spiralized by us. I happened to look at your pictures of the GG veggies and noticed that they were 12 ounce pkgs, so if you could also mention that in the body of the recipe, that would be most helpful. Thank you for your consideration of this idea.

I have 2 beets in the fridge and plan to spiralize but haven’t yet chosen a recipe, so now I can make this one. Question – if using fresh beets, do you still need to cook them briefly and then chill before using, or can you simply spiralize and add to the salad?

So, I don’t love Dijon. Thoughts on traditional mayo instead?

As much as I love picking out fresh veggies at the store and spiralizing them myself, I’ll probably pick up Giant’s carrot and butternut squash spirals if they make their way in to my grocery store. I can’t consistently find large enough carrots to get a great noodle, and I hate how much omphf is required to spiralize a butternut squash (plus I then have the bulb leftover that I have to figure out what to do with). While I will still spiralize most things myself (plus I assume it’s cheaper), some veggies just aren’t worth the hassle and it’s nice to have a convenient option!

Thank you Ali. I eat tuna on a regular basis and lots of tuna salad. Great idea to add the avaca and the beets. By the way the brand called Safe Catch has the lowest mercury of any brand of tuna on the market. I would hope it is on the east coast too.

I’ve tried spiralizing beets and that was a first and a last! At least I’ll be using those GG ones!

This recipe looks awesome! Glad to see that spiralized noodles are getting cheaper. I dislike spiralizing squash, peeling and cutting takes a long time!

I’ll definitely check out green giant!
