Raw Vegan Pasta

Nothing goes together better than summer like picnics and pasta salad - but what do you do if you're raw / gluten free / vegan/ diabetic / low-carb and don't eat pasta? Spiralize zucchini, of course! Basically no-carb and 100% diabetic-friendly, this recipe is all from-scratch, but is still ready in minutes and you would never be able to tell. Who says you need processed pasta to have a fabulous, hearty meal? This fantastic recipe is quick, easy and delicious - not to mention super healthy and packed with fresh veggies!
