Introducing my amazing vegan Creamy Courgetti Salad.

It’s light, refreshing and packed full of flavour with minimal ingredients!

Therefore making this the perfect summer salad or BBQ side to share.

Without a doubt you NEED to try this delicious salad.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE ABOUT THIS CREAMY COURGETTI SALAD:

  • Super Easy
  • 10 Minutes
  • Summer/BBQ vibes
  • Store for up to 3 days
  • Vegan & Gluten-Free

Using these simple ingredients you can get from any supermarket.

Ingredients

Firstly blending the dairy free creamy cashew sauce couldn’t be easier. 

Simply adding your cashews, milk, mustard, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper and blend until smooth.

No need to soak the cashews before if you have a high powered blender. If not simply soak them for 10 minutes in hot water.

Have a cashew/nut allergy? Here are a few suggested swaps:

Cashews for macadamia nuts or almonds (not personally tested)

Or for no nuts try white beans such as cannellini or oats might work (both not been tested)

Creamy Sauce

Creating this delicious plant-based creamy sauce in less than a minute. 

This sauce is so versatile you can mix it into pasta, salads or even use as a dip!

Now onto spiralizing the courgette, which takes about 30 seconds. 

If you don’t own a spiralizer I highly recommend getting one. You’ll be surprised how much you use it.

Great for courgettes, sweet potato, butternut squash you can pretty much make your own vegetable noodles.

Here is a similar model of the spiralizer to which I use (had mine for 5 years).

Finally, add your courgette noodles to a mixing bowl and pour in the creamy cashew sauce.
