Strawberry slices and Cucumber Noodles on cutting board.

Strawberries: I use organic fresh and I think that is best for this strawberry cucumber noodle salad. I also sliced them so they were in smaller bite sized chunks.
Cucumber: I like to use organic especially because the skin is being consumed.
Lettuce: I used spring mix but any type you like best will work, romaine or arugula would be delicious.
Pure Maple Syrup: Make sure its pure maple syrup, not the kind with added sugars.
Spicy Brown Mustard: This with the maple syrup give the perfect spicy and sweet but yet fresh tasting dressing.

Variations

Switch it up: Not a fan of spring mix, switch it up to any greens you like such as, kale, romaine lettuce, butterhead lettuce, or arugula.
Toppings: You could easily add some crunch here with some chopped walnuts or pecans. Sunflower seeds would also be great if you don't like nuts. Dried fruit like cranberries would also be a nice chewy addition.

How to make this Strawberry Cucumber Noodle Salad

First start by spiralizing your cucumber.
Next in a bowl lay down a bed of washed lettuce, add the spiralized noodles on top. (Before putting them on top, if they are really long feel free to use a knife and slice through the center of the pile to shorted them).
Add the washed and sliced strawberries on top.
Mix up the dressing in a small bowl and drizzle over the top. Serves 1-2.

Vegan: To make sure this Strawberry Cucumber Noodle Salad is vegan, be sure to check that the Dijon mustard you have is vegan. (Vegan varieties are made with vinegar, some dijon mustards use white wine which sometimes can be filtered in a way that is not vegan).
