Roasted tahini (sesame seed paste) is the key ingredient that gives the dressing a nutty undertone. For the ginger, celery, and shallot – it’s not necessary to chop them finely if you have a high powered blender. Just give them a rough chop and let the blender do the rest!

The ginger, celery, and shallot are blended together with the oil to make a creamy base, and the soy sauce is added in the end. This extra step is necessary to achieve the super creamy texture.

For the vegetable noodles, you can use a spiralizer if you have one or a julienne peeler like the one in the top 2 pictures. For more info about how to make zucchini noodles you can read my vegetable noodle post . For the cucumber noodles, use the peeler to cut noodles from 1 side until you run into the seeds and it won’t form noodles anymore, then start peeling from the other side until you’ve worked your way around the cucumber and only the core of seeds is left, (I just snacked on the leftover cucumber). For the bell pepper and mango, cut them into strips as thinly as possible to mimic noodles (or if you’re in a hurry, cut them into small cubes).

Serve the veggie mango noodles with lots of nutty ginger dressing! Only dress the noodles when you’re ready to eat, the veggies will shed water as they sit in the dressing which makes for less flavor punch. The noodles will keep separate from the dressing for 1 day, after that the mango starts to turn brown. The dressing however keeps for more than a week. I make a double batch and put the leftover dressing in a quart sized mason jar for deliciousness all week long!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.
