01/14/2014 20 min. preparation time 20 min. total time

Today I had noodles made of zucchini with diced cucumber, baby - lettuce and a colorful and sweet sauce of three persimmons, two Medjoul dates, three stalks of celery and a beet.

If not stated otherwise then the amount of ingredients is for one meal, but this could still mean more than one serving of the pictured dish.

All fruits and vegetables have to be ripe. That's of the uttermost importance, only this way are they tasting yummy, are having all their essential nutrients in them and can be digested optimally by our body.

Preparation

Dicing of fruits or veggies

Put the straight blade on your Mandoline - Slicer
Activate the vertical blades and set an offset halve the length of the vertical blades
Cut fruit (like zucchini or cucumber) or veggie once
Turn fruit or veggie by 90 degrees
Cut again to get dices
Turn and cut
Repeat
Stop before you cut your fingers :)

Noodles

Get a Lurch Spirali or an other spirulizer.
Use the blade for normal or thick noodles
Put up the summer or winter squash, daikon radish or similar and cut out the noodles
If you use hard fruits or veggies, like winter squash, you may turn the fruit by hand, not by crank
Alternatively you can also use the GEFU Spirelli Spiral Cutter.

Sauce

Put all ingredients for the sauce in a high speed blender, like the Blendtec
Put some softer fruits in the blender first so it has something to "chew" on
Maybe cut harder produce into pieces and put them into the blender with some soft stuff
Avocado, nuts or seeds are optional
Blend ingredients at high speed
