I'm so excited to share this spiralized Thai Salad recipe with the Today Show today! Head over to their website to see the recipe and also an instructional video for my version of Tangled Thai Salad.

The recipe uses a spiralizer (or spiral-slicer) to create noodles out of vegetables and is an awesome no-cook meal! The spicy almond dressing is from my Thai Shrimp Salad and I knew that it just had to be used for more than one dish because of how delicious it is!

If you don't have one yet, my favorite brand is the Paderno which you can order on Amazon or pick up at a local Williams-Sonoma store! I promise you, this will put some serious fun into your gluten-free or grain-free diet if it's starting to feel mundane!
