Pritikin Spaghetti Squash and Tomato salad

The Pritikin Eating Plan recommends you eat at least 5 (and preferably many more!) servings of vegetables each day. They’re super nutritious. Plus, you’ll just naturally eat fewer calories and shed excess weight. This healthy recipe for Pritikin Spaghetti Squash and Tomato Salad is vegetable-rich, only takes 3 ingredients plus your favorite dressing, and can be a tasty vegetable and entree, all in one.  Spaghetti squash is delicious and a dieter’s dream! One cup, cooked, is just 43 calories. It’ll fill you up but not out. And it’s so versatile. You can top spaghetti squash with just about any sauce you’d use for pasta. When paired with tomato and basil, spaghetti squash is a darn good replacement for spaghetti. Think of it as faux-pasta. Pritikin Outrageous Asian Salad Dressing is available online in the Pritikin Market.

When paired with tomato and basil, spaghetti squash is a darn good replacement for spaghetti. Think of it as faux-pasta. This is good chilled, as a salad, and warm as an entree.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole spaghetti squash halved and deseeded
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced
  • ½ cup fresh basil cut into thin strips
  • ½ cup Pritikin Italian Sunshine Salad Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place spaghetti sauce, cut side down, on a baking tray and bake until soft (about 25 minutes).
  • Use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the squash, and cool / chill.
  • Toss diced tomatoes with basil and combine with squash and your favorite Low Fat Reduced Calories Salad Dressing.

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

Pritikin actually serves this with an Asian dressing, but we like this warm, with Low Calorie Italian Dressing.  Pritikin has its own, for both flavors, which is 10 calories for two tablespoons, but we calculated using a store-bought Low Fat Italian Dressing.
