If you are a fellow food magazine subscriber, you have probably noticed the enticing ads lately from the folks at the California walnut organization (www.walnuts.org).  Their ads feature enticing photos of recipes that use walnuts in a unique way.  With the current craze for spiralized vegetables as a low-carb and fun ingredient, I was excited to try this raw ‘zoodles’ salad recipe: raw zucchini noodles tossed together with a light lemon vinaigrette, buttery walnuts and cheese. (I used crumbled goat cheese instead of the suggested ricotta cheese, but I think feta would work well, too.) A sprinkling of fresh basil leaves for a fresh finish, this salad couldn’t be any easier to put together…and even easier to devour.
