Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium spaghetti squash ((approximately 4 cups of flesh))
1 small red onion ((diced))
1 red pepper ((diced))
1 yellow pepper ((diced))
1/4 cup fresh basil ((or 1 tablespoon dried))
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes ((reconstituted and chopped))
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2-3 cloves garlic ((crushed))
1 1/3 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder ((optional and omit for AIP))

Steps:

  • Slice squash in half, lengthwise, and remove the fibrous strings and seeds. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place facedown on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400° F for 30-40 minutes or until the squash pulls apart in "spaghetti" strings. Cool. Alternatively, cook the spaghetti squash in a Pressure Cooker for a much faster (and cooler) alternative (see notes above).
  • Using a fork, remove the squash's flesh and place in a medium bowl.
  • Add in all other Salad Ingredients.
  • Place dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to mix well.
  • Pour over salad, then toss and serve.
