8. Introduction
One of the best kitchen tools is a mandolin. There are many different types
and brands, but in general, this handheld device consists of a horizontal
blade that can be adjusted for thickness and stability. Widely used in
professional kitchens, these handy tools are an essential tool to have in
your cooking arsenal. They offer a large variety of uses to slice vegetables
into uniformly thin strips or even paper-thin pieces that can make great
garnishes.
This book has 50 recipes that can be made using a mandolin. The recipes
in this book are divided into 4 chapters as follows:
Poultry Recipes
Seafood Recipes
Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes
Salad and Soups Recipes

10. Carrot Noodle Stir-Fry with Chicken
In making quick and easy stir-fries like this one, you cook your meat
quickly and add veggies, and all the flavors blend together in a way that’s
so satisfying and delicious. You can switch up the flavors and herbs
however you like, but my favorite stir-fries are made with lots of garlic,
fresh ginger, onion, and a little sesame oil.
Serving size: 4
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 onion, spiralized
1 minced garlic clove
1 pound chicken breast, diced, boneless
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 or 3 carrots, spiralized
1 head broccoli, florets removed and chopped, stem spiralized
1 green bell pepper, spiralized
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
1 teaspoon peeled minced fresh ginger
11. 1 large spiralized zucchini
3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce)
Sesame seeds, for garnishing
Instructions:
In a skillet (medium-high), heat the sesame oil. Sauté the garlic and onion
for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the onion turns softened
slightly. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned,
stirring frequently.
Add the carrots, broccoli florets and noodles, bell pepper noodles, water
chestnuts, and ginger. Stir well to combine. After 3 to 4 minutes, add the
zucchini noodles and coconut aminos. Stir again, sautéing for 3 minutes,
until the zucchini noodles are fork-tender.
Transfer to serving bowls or plates, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
12. Teriyaki Chicken with Daikon Noodles
Teriyaki sauce is kind of hard to find in a Paleo-friendly version because
it’s high in sugar. Fortunately, this coconut aminos–honey mixture does a
really good job of capturing those flavors without too many additives.
Serving size: 4
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
¼ cup coconut aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce)
¼ cup honey
1 minced garlic clove
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pound boneless chicken breast or thigh, diced
3 or 4 daikon radishes, spiralized
Salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
13. Instructions:
Mix the coconut aminos, honey, orange juice, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame
oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
Transfer sauce to a large skillet over medium heat and bring to a low
simmer. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until it begins to reduce.
Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through. Stir
well to combine with the sauce.
Add the daikon noodles and toss well to combine, cooking for an
additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve hot.
14. Shredded Chicken and Cabbage Salad with
Peanut Sauce
Cabbage is so easy to spiralize. I always forget about it because it doesn’t
yield noodles, but the spiralizer does a super-awesome job of quickly
shredding it for me, saving me time and a massive mess in the kitchen.
This salad is quick and light and full of flavor, just cabbage, chicken, and
some fresh orange juice, with a bit of peanut vinaigrette to spice it up!
Serving size: 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 teaspoons gluten-free soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
½ head cabbage, spiralized
1 large chicken breast, cooked and shredded
2 or 3 scallions, chopped
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
15. Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk the orange juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, and rice
vinegar.
Add ½ head cabbage and stir well to combine. Add the scallions and
chicken and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with sesame seeds
and serve immediately.
16. Greek Salad with Cucumber Noodles and
Chicken
One of my favorite lunches or light dinners is a big Greek salad with really
herbaceous grilled chicken on top of it—the combination of spices with
creamy feta and a nice tangy vinaigrette is fantastic especially if you add
crunchy cucumbers and salty olives. I spiralize the cucumbers and red
onion for this recipe, which adds a nice additional element of texture to all
the chopped veggies and crisp romaine lettuce.
Serving size: 4
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
For The Chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if needed
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon basil, dried
½ teaspoon parsley, dried
17. ½ teaspoon black pepper, ground
½ teaspoon rosemary, dried
½ teaspoon dill, dried
½ teaspoon thyme, dried
For the Greek salad
1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 large cucumber, spiralized
½ red onion, spiralized
1 cup Kalamata olives
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons, plus more if needed
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
To Make The Chicken
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, stir the salt, garlic powder, basil, oregano, pepper, parsley,
rosemary, dill, and thyme together.
Heat a large skillet (medium-high). Pour the olive oil over the chicken, and
season with half of the herb mix. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per
side until browned, then transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12
minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
To Make The Greek Salad
While the chicken is baking, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce,
cucumber noodles, onion, olives, and tomatoes. Toss everything together
with the remaining herb mixture, olive oil, and lemon juice, then add the
feta cheese. Give it another good stir. Season with salt and pepper, and
transfer to serving bowls or plates.
Slice or dice the chicken and top each salad with it. Taste and drizzle with
a little more olive oil and lemon juice (if needed). Serve immediately.
18. Chicken Salad with Spiralized Carrots
This chicken salad recipe is my go-to meal prep when I want to have
something easy to grab and serve over salads or with sliced cucumbers or
even sweet potato chips.
Serving size: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (12.5-ounce) can chicken, drained
3 or 4 carrots, spiralized
½ cup mayonnaise
½ celery stalk, diced
½ cup grapes, finely chopped
1 or 2 scallions, thinly sliced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, carrot noodles, mayonnaise, celery,
grapes, and scallions and mix everything together, stirring until combined.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready
20. Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Wraps with
Spiralized Veggies
This is a great meal-prep lunch idea—if you cook a bunch of bacon and
chicken at once, you can wrap it up and save it in the refrigerator for
recipes like this one. Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Wraps are super delicious,
and adding spiralized veggies is such a great way to get even more
vegetables into your diet. Serving size: 2
Serving size: 3
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
8 ounces cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
4 cooked bacon slices
2 wraps of your choice—to keep Paleo, use lettuce, collard
green leaves, or cabbage
2 or 3 carrots, spiralized 1 zucchini, spiralized
2 tablespoons your favorite ranch dressing
Sliced tomato or avocado (optional)
Instructions:
21. Assemble the wraps by layering the chicken and bacon within the lettuce
or collard green leaves, followed by the carrot and zucchini noodles.
Drizzle with ranch dressing, add tomato or avocado (if using), and roll up.
Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.
22. Turkey Zoodle Burgers
Some may find them to be a little too dry for their taste, but you can add
zucchini noodles to them, since they both add moisture and up the veggie
content.
Serving size: 4
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1 large zucchini, spiralized
½ white onion, diced
1 large egg, beaten
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt
Black pepper freshly ground
1 or 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sliced tomatoes, lettuce, salad, or gluten-free buns, for serving
(optional)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, zucchini noodles, onion, egg, and
23. garlic. Season with pepper and salt.
Mix well with your hands and divide into 4 equal sections, creating patties.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Cook the patties for
5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked completely through.
Serve hot with sliced tomato and lettuce, over a salad, or on a gluten-free
bun.
24. Chicken Pot Pie
This chicken pot pie uses spiralized potatoes as a top crust, which you will
like because it’s fun and different, and it’s so much faster than making a
batch of mashed potatoes or pie crust to top the pie. And unlike most
comfort foods, this recipe is ready in a flash.
Serving size: 4
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound diced boneless chicken breast
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, spiralized and chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced

Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken broth

the chicken, onion, garlic, and celery for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the
chicken begins to brown slightly.
Add the carrots and peas, and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything
together to combine. Add the chicken broth, and bring everything to a low
simmer.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
In the same skillet (medium heat), sauté the potato noodles in the
remaining 1½ tablespoons of olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender.
Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the potato noodles on top of the chicken mixture in the baking dish
and gently press down on the noodles to form a crust. Bake for 10 to 15
minutes, or until golden brown, and serve.
26. Chicken and “Rice” Casserole
This chicken and “rice” casserole use chopped-up veggie noodles instead
of rice, and you’ll find that not only is it delicious, but it looks a lot faster,
too.
Serving size: 5
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken thighs, chopped or diced
2 tablespoons grass-fed butter, melted
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 or 5 summer squash, spiralized and chopped into “rice”

soup. Season again with salt and pepper, stir well to combine, and then

everything else is hot, and serve.

30. Pesto, Chicken and Zucchini Pasta

33. Ahi Tuna Steak over Chilled Cucumber
Noodles
This recipe is an easy-to-cook protein that doesn’t take a lot of time. It’s
best when served rare or medium-rare. Just make sure you’re purchasing
high-quality fish if you aren’t planning to cook it all the way through.

rice vinegar. Toss to combine, and season with pepper and salt.
To serve, transfer the cucumber noodles to bowls. Slice the tuna and serve

35. Thai Seafood Noodle Salad
This speedy salad incorporates precooked shrimp and lots of spiralized
veggies with a tangy, spicy Thai vinaigrette. It’s great on its own as a light
lunch or a side dish with a larger meal. The substitution of spiralized
veggies instead of the traditional rice noodles keep this recipe nutrient-
packed and much lower in carbs.

Add the basil, cilantro, and crushed almonds, then transfer to serving
plates or bowls and enjoy right away.
37. Chilled Veggie Noodle Salad with Asparagus
and Shrimp
Shrimp, asparagus, and fresh lemon combine to make a perfect meal for
spring. Using pre-cooked shrimp makes this recipe an easy one to just
throw together and serve. I like to add some spiralized veggies like raw
zucchini to add even more texture, flavor, and nutrition to this dish.
Serving size: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
¼ cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

fresh lemon. Add some sautéed summer squash noodles, and you have a
new, flavorful, healthy meal that comes together super-fast.
Serving size: 2
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 (6- to 8-ounce) pieces salmon

40. or until fragrant. Add the salmon. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side
until brown. The fish should flake easily with a fork when cooked through.
Season with salt and pepper, then remove the fish from the skillet and set
aside.
Add the squash noodles to the skillet, then add the lemon juice. Season
with salt and pepper, then top with the dill.
Toss gently and divide among serving plates. Top with the salmon and
serve immediately.
41. Black Pepper Daikon Noodles with Shrimp
and Snow Peas
These black pepper daikon noodles are a nice change from the sesame and
peanut noodles that I make so often—sometimes I want more of a full
meal than those snack/salad dishes, and this one is loaded with shrimp and
snow peas, so you get plenty of protein and some green veggies as well.
Serving size: 2 to 4
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup coconut aminos (or gluten-free soy sauce)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar

add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink, about 3 minutes more.
Finally, add the snow peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Season with plenty of black pepper and serve hot.
43. Zucchini Noodle Puttanesca
Spaghetti puttanesca is full of flavor, packed with capers, olives, and
anchovies. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of anchovies, I encourage you to
try this. They add a briny, pleasant depth of flavor to dishes like this one.
Serving size: 4
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
¼ cup olive oil
3 or 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 to 6 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
¼ cup sliced black olives

added)
2 or 3 large zucchini, spiralized
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

until fragrant. Add the anchovies, olives, capers, and red pepper flakes.
Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another minute or two until
fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and stir well to combine. Bring to a low simmer and
cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for an
additional 2 to 3 minutes until fork-tender.
Season with salt and pepper and serve hot, topped with the Parmesan.
45. Poached Tilapia over Veggie Noodles
This recipe is an easy fish to buy frozen. It is a favorite for many, with lots
of veggie noodles and quick-poached fish in a fragrant broth. If you are
new to eating fish, this recipe is a great way to start.
Serving size: 2

Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ white onion, spiralized
2 carrots, spiralized

In a saucepan (medium heat), heat some olive oil. Sauté the garlic for 1 to
46. 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the carrot and bell
pepper noodles. Sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes until the veggies have
softened slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the broth into the pan and bring to a low simmer. Add the tilapia and
cook in the broth for 3 to 4 minutes until the fish has become completely
opaque. Season again with pepper and salt.
Add the zucchini noodles and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, then serve
right away.
47. Veggie Linguine with Clams
This recipe is a great go-to if you’re short on time but want to impress
your family or some unexpected dinner guests—it’s basically just veggie
noodles in garlic and olive oil with canned clams and lots of fresh parsley
on top.
Serving size: 3
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 (6.5-ounce) cans clams with juice (or about 2 dozen

Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 or 4 scallions, sliced
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
48. Instructions:
In a skillet (medium), heat some olive oil. Sauté the garlic for about 1
minute. Add the clams with their juices, and give it a stir. (If using fresh
clams, add the wine along with the clams, then cover the pan and simmer
for a few minutes. Discard any clams that don’t open.)
Add the zucchini and squash noodles and sauté until tender for 5 minutes.
Gently stir to combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, and
add the red pepper flakes.
Remove from the heat and add the scallions. Serve hot with a sprinkle of
parsley.
49. Spicy Shrimp Marinara

veggie noodles.

Add the shrimp and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until it turns opaque
throughout.
About 2 to 3 minutes before serving, add the zucchini noodles. Garnish
with parsley and serve hot.
51. Seafood Veggie Pasta
This is almost like a cioppino recipe, although it’s a bit simplified. Here
we use zucchini, carrot, summer squash noodles instead of pasta, and the
classic flavors of a seafood stew make this hybrid dish a perennial favorite.
Serving size: 2 to 4
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ onion, diced
2 or 3 carrots, spiralized

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

carrot noodles, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant
and the onion is softened slightly. Add the tomatoes and seafood stock,
and bring to a low simmer.
Add the fish and shrimp, and cook until opaque, 5 to 7 minutes. Season
with salt and pepper, and add the red pepper flakes. About 2 to 3 minutes
before serving, add the zucchini and summer squash noodles.

53. Clam Chowder with Spiralized Potatoes and
Carrots
Clam chowder is one of those dishes that I love to order when I’m out but
never really made for myself at home because I thought it would be too
much work. Spiralizing the ingredients makes all the prep and chopping so
much faster!
Serving size: 4

Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons grass-fed butter
1 onion, spiralized
2 garlic cloves, minced

Remove bay leaves from soup and sprinkle with black pepper.
Divide soup into individual serving bowls and top with one slice each of
the toast with cheese. (Another option would be to place all the baguette
slices on the soup’s surface, sprinkle with cheese, place the whole pot of
soup into the oven, and bake until the cheese is done).
