Cucumber & Beet Noodle Salad with Avo-Hemp Dressing

I got a Spirooli Spiral 3-in-1 Slicer for $30.  I didn’t need one.

Or did I?

I took a raw class at the Natural Gourmet Institute last week (post forthcoming!) and I saw just how efficiently this cheaper version of a spiralizer worked. I ordered one as soon as I got home!

It arrived on Friday and on Saturday afternoon, having not yet grocery shopped with a grocery delivery scheduled for Sunday afternoon, I searched my refrigerator for something to try in the Spirooli.

I found a cucumber.

I found a beet.

And then I decided to make a dressing with an avocado that I also found in the refrigerator.

Do you use a Spirooli or spirulizer?  What are your favorite fruit and veggie noodles?
