Lemony Spaghetti Squash Salad

submitted by butterflydog

1 large spaghetti squash
1 small red onion chopped
2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
2 Tbsp fresh chopped basil
1 large carrot grated or coarse shredded
Juice from large lemon
grated lemon peel from the whole lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
salt and pepper to taste

Another colorful and delicious recipe I created for my vegetarian company
which was also very well received. Cook the squash in the microwave (
poke holes in the squash with a fork or tooth pick ) about 15 to 20
minutes on high power or until squash is soft. When warm enough to handle
cut in half, scrape out seeds. Use fork to scoop out the strands of the
squash. Place in colander and let drain very well, about 1./2 hour. Place
spaghetti squash strands in a bowl and add the herbs and onions, then the
lemon juice and olive oil. Stir with fork and add salt and pepper to
taste. Serve warm or chilled. Salad should have a refreshing lemon zing
to it.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
