I received a spirailzer for Christmas and discovered your site after i received it. I have been wanting an inspiralizer ever since but couldn’t justify buying another one when mine was so new. Well today i made this salad for a work potluck and one of my co workers said she has been wanting to start spirilizing veggies, so i offered to sell her mine so she could try it out and just place my inspirilizer order!!! i’m so excited!! I was going to get it through amazon prime so i could have it this weekend but your tote bag sold me on getting it here. I’m a sucker for a good tote. HAHAAHA
P.S we all love the salad!! The dressing is SOOOOO good!!!!

In reply to Ruth Detroit Area. I know this is an old posting, but I am making this for dinner tonight, and I was able to find cooked, shelled, frozen edamane at Trader Joes. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to make this simple!

Love your app! Just got my daughter and son-in-law Paderno spiralizer. They also just got your app. We both have the 4 blade spiralizer. Can you help us with figuring out the conversions for the 3 blade to 4 blade for you recipes? We get confused on which blades to use due to having the 4 blade!! Thanks!!!

Tonight we were planning to have our kids/grandkids over, and this morning as I was going out the door to groc shop for a few “go-withs”, this recipe came in, so I decided “why not have the kids be guinea pigs again?” I picked up the stuff I needed for it and it was delicious! Usually I put jicama on a relish tray next to dip or hummus, but this was the first time I used it in a spiralized dish – added a real nice, fresh crunch! The mango dressing actually made the jicama taste like apples or pears…

BTW#1, a bag of frozen mango cubes was exactly 1-1/2 cups, and the dressing was the perfect amount for the salad (I didn’t use the almond milk – the dressing was the right consistency without it).

BTW#2, it took less than 1/2 of a red cabbage to make a cup. I spiralized the whole thing as long as the spiralizer was out, and put the left-overs in a lg baggie to be used in something else tomorrow (?).
.
BTW#3, getting the edamame out of the pods was pretty time-consuming, so I made a note on the printed recipe to do that a day ahead next time and I’ll just store them in a covered bowl or plastic bag.

Thanks for another winner!

Who knows who she was or why she was taking the photo. Its funny i agree but most of us have done something like that before. I almost never post photos on Facebook or instagram because I want to avoid being the type of person who relies on likes to make myself feel good and let’s be honest it does sometimes feel good. We want to show others how amazing our life is even if it is or isn’t. I see the staged photo, too many selfies, too many pictures of kids, trying to slip an engagement ring in every shot, posts saying how amazing your bf/husband is etc. as a cover up for insecurities. It is SO obvious to me when people do this. It doesn’t make me think bad of them it more makes me think they have issues haha. Since I deleted most of my not real friends from social media and became aware of how I was trying to “brag” about my life by posting certain things without realizing it, I have become much happier. I know I have an amazing life and I don’t feel the need to tell everyone about it. Makes it seem more real ya know.

In reply to Sharon K. I'd say for optimal freshness, 2-3 days!

I worry that we spend more time documenting our lives than living then. I love a good blog, but the obsession with selfies I find sad as well. Who are they trying to convince that they have great fun? Themselves? Because most people don’t really care about photos they aren’t in unless they are truly interesting photos. Just my 2 cents.

I have yet to sprilize cabbage or jicama. I may start with this recipe :). I’m amused with this story, an ice cream cone used as a prop. I would be eating that- did you find out where to get one for yourself? :;
Thank You for another great recipe. Have a great week!

Great recipe, I will try this for a work lunch!

I find this story a little sad! I don’t understand why people are so keen on telling the world what a great time they’re having when really they should just be actually having a great time! I’m all for taking photos and sharing them on facebook now and again but this girl seems so fake! Her photos aren’t even a true representation of herself which I think is just pointless.

I must say I do enjoy your instagram Ali! A perfect mix of Inspiralized, fashion, and snippets from your life in NY (not a fake ice cream in sight!)
