On the bright side, I am coming up with lots of new ideas to use it, so if I ever do buy a spaghetti squash again (which will not be for quite a long time) I won't have to look up recipes!
This week has been a salad week. No, I'm not trying to diet or anything. I just really like spinach salads. So I integrated my lovely spaghetti squash into a salad for dinner today. I made a southwest style spaghetti squash salad. Talk about a versatile vegetable--spaghetti squash can become anything you want it to be!
Ingredients:
- fresh spinach
- spaghetti squash
- olives
- red beans (pinto or black also work)
- cucumber
- tomato
- green bell pepper
I still had to cook the leftover 1/4 of the squash, so I readied the other ingredients in the meantime. Then I dumped a LOT of spaghetti squash into the salad.
I still have a lot left over. Seriously, it's growing out of my ears.
Anyway, I made a dressing by mixing cumin and lemon juice.
I mixed this and some balsamic vinaigrette into the salad. Mmm....refreshing!!! Oh spaghetti squash, you never let me down.
next time don't get the watermelon size spaghetti squash...they have normal sized ones too :)
