A quick, easy and super healthy summer salad recipe. I've spiralized carrots, cucumber and apple to make this delicious side salad that the whole family will love! My Fussy Eater blogSummer has finally reached the UK and although I love nothing better than a delicious fresh salad at this time of the year, my fussy eaters are not quite so keen! I’ve been trying out loads of different salad recipes lately to try to find one that my kids enjoy and this Spiralized Carrot, Cucumber & Apple Salad has been their favourite so far. 

This recipe is super simple, it literally contains just four ingredients; spiralized carrots, cucumber and apple together with cherry tomatoes. I used a sprializer to create the spaghetti like ribbons. You can also use a smaller hand held spiralizer and I’ve linked some brands below. You could also use a julienne peeler. This won’t create spaghetti ribbons but will instead give you very thin strips.

My Fussy Eater blogMy kids prefer this recipe plain but I like to add a little salad dressing and in particular a nice Italian herb dressing seems to work really well.

    This is such a fab idea. I really struggle to get the kids to have salad normally but they really liked it served this way. Hurrah!!!
