Guy’s Grocery Games-Inspired Spiral Carrot-Ginger Salad

Heather Ramsdell, Food Network 2016
It was all about chance and risk on this week's episode of Guy's Grocery Games. After each contestant rolled the die there was a mad dash to gather the ingredients to make a poker game-friendly recipe using a spiralizer, which is a specialty piece of kitchen equipment that turns produce into perfect curlicues. Buying one of these one-trick-pony gadgets certainly seems like a risky purchase. (Plus, you're forever left with those weird little veggie plugs — you know what I’m talking about!)

But we found the perfect way to use up those quirky leftover pieces: Just spiralize two large carrots and follow this recipe for Light Carrot-Ginger Dressing (you'll have enough carrot plugs to equal the one medium carrot called for in the recipe). Then toss your carrot spirals with the vinaigrette and some black sesame seeds for a winning salad!
