with recipes from Laura Miner @CookatHomeMom
We are thrilled to introduce you to our newest Whole30 Approved partner: Veggie Noodle Co. They offer organic, pre-spiralized veggies (zucchini, sweet potato, butternut squash, and beet) in a few different “noodle” shapes including spirals, Veggiccine™ (their smooth and easy take on fettuccine), and hash.
There is SO MUCH TO LOVE about Veggie Noodle Co.; they’re a more nutritous “pasta” option, the shape cuts your veggie cooking time in half, and they’re super-convenient, letting you get fast and easy Whole30 meals on the table even on the busiest weeknight. They’re also widely available, and can be found in most places throughout the U.S. including Target, Whole Foods, and Kroger. (Use their handy store locator to find Veggie Noodle Co. in a store near you.)
We asked recipe creative Laura Miner to create three dishes with Veggie Noodle Co. veggies, and the dishes she landed on are fresh, flavorful, and make the most of seasonal summer produce.

Sweet Potato Nicoise Bowl
Ingredients
For the Salad
1 package Veggie Noodle Co. Spiralized Sweet Potato
2 4-6 oz. salmon fillets
2 eggs, soft boiled
2 tsp. olive oil
1 cup fresh spinach or baby kale
1/4 lb. asparagus, blanched
1/4 lb. green beans, blanched
2 Tbsp. raw unsalted sunflower seeds
4 radishes, sliced
1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp. fresh thyme
For the Lemon-Mustard Vinaigrette
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
2 Tbsp. white vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 Tbsp. mustard (be sure it’s compatible!)
1/2 Tbsp. finely minced shallots or scallions
Instructions
To Make the Vinaigrette
WHISK together all vinaigrette ingredients but the oil. Very slowly, pour the oil into the mixture as you whisk until emulsified. Note: You can also add all ingredients to a deep bowl and use an immersion blender.
To Prepare the Salmon
DRIZZLE each salmon fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the salmon skin side down, allowing to cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip the fish and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until flakey and cooked through.
To Prepare the Salad
FILL two bowls with spiralized sweet potatoes (if you prefer them cooked, gently sautee the noodles for 3-4 minutes and allow to cool slightly). Divide the spinach, asparagus, green beans, sunflower seeds and radishes between the bowls. Place the salmon and eggs on top and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with parsley and thyme.

1 Veggie Noodle Co. Spiralized Beets
2-4 eggs

1 lemon, zested
For the Lemon Parsley Vinaigrette
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 Tbsp.
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1 packed cup flat leaf parsley, large stems removed
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
To Prepare the Vinaigrette
ADD all ingredients to a deep bowl and blend gently with an immersion blender. Alternately, you can finely chop the parsley and garlic, then whisk all ingredients together.
To Prepare the Salad
COOK the bacon and allow it to cool. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Fill two bowls with spiralized beets. Divide the snap peas, sunflower shoots, blueberries and walnuts between the bowls. Prepare the eggs your favorite way (Here they’re fried sunny side up, fried in 1 tsp. Olive oil for about 4 minutes). Place the eggs and bacon on each bowl, then top with lemon zest.
