I’m always experimenting with different ways to eat raw food and this salad is super versatile. The base vegetable can be so many different things: carrot, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potato, etc. I chose yellow squash because that is what I had and needed to use. Pair this up with some Ginger Citrus Dressing and other veggies, and you have a refreshing and filling meal!
