I was suppose to meet up with my lovely friend D. after work for coffee and to catch up, but as I also had to do some shopping downtown I texted D. if we could meet an hour later. But then I thought.. why not do a dinner date instead of a coffee date! As I was texting D. the change of plans I thought of my other friends C. and Y. who I haven't seen in quite a while and invited them over for dinner too! And guess what... they all had no plans for dinner!?! (maybe they did, but cancelled it to eat MY food haha). I mean if you would have known my friends you'd know it's quite unusual that a spontaneous plan like this would work! Everybody is always so busy doing something, so what a pleasant surprise! :D
As most of my friends work in the fashion industry I know they prefer healthy food to maintain their stunning looks ;) but they also want to have the 'OH MY GOD WHAT THE F#CK IS THIS' kinda effect when they're eating! Oke.. and here comes my BFFITK (Best Friend Forever In The Kitchen) again.. my SPIROOLI! :D If you don't have a spirooli or if it's sold out you can buy a 'Julienne Slicer' almost in every cook shop.

The Ingredients
Ingredients you'll need to fill up 4 sexy bitches:
1 zucchini - noodles (if you don't have a Spirooli use a Julienne Slicer or Vegetable Peeler)
1/2 cucumber - noodles (stop staring at my recipes, just get the freakin Spirooli it's so much easier)
1 orange (chopped in medium bits)
1 big fat carrot (grated)
1 smoked mackerel
1 precooked red beet (If you don't have a Spirooli you can use your Cheeseplain instead)
a handful of small tasty tomatoes cut in half
*some sesameseeds - I just love the way it uplifts your dish :)
dressing:
1 lime juice
1 spoon of sesameoil
1 and 1/2 shot of Soysauce ( I used glutenfree soy sauce, but you can use Kikkoman or any Japanese soy sauce brand)
1 zucchini - noodles (if you don't have a Spirooli use a Julienne Slicer or Vegetable Peeler)

So what's next?! Well THIS honey.. ain't no rocketscience!
Mix the zucchini and cucumber noodles together with the orange bits in a big bowl and drizzle the dressing on top, mix this all well and leave it to the side.
Meanwhile get a plate and place a layer of the redbeet first, a handful of the grated carrot, the 'noodle' mix and at last some smoked mackerel. You can always add some sesameseeds, just because it looks nicer with ;)
My friends LOVED IT! and I LOVE it because THEY LOVED IT.. 1 of my friends wasn't even aware she was eating vegetables, she thought she ate noodles...crazy right?! :|
What a great start of the week. Hope you had a great dinner as well!
