We’re back out at the garden today, where our summer fruits and veggies are finally ready for picking and preparing into refreshing new
meals and snacks. And while I may be an amateur gardener and an intermediate chef, my Professional SaladShooter® electric slicer and shredder always helps me chop, shred, slice, and serve like a pro.
Getting to Know the Pro: Why Choose the Professional SaladShooter?
The SaladShooter is no stranger to my kitchen routine, mostly because of how many tasks it can help accomplish during meal prep. This motorized electric shredder handles most everything you could ever want for a garden-fresh salad, from carrots to cheese, bacon to nuts—even lettuce and cabbage, too. With my recent upgrade to the Professional SaladShooter, I now have a whole slew of specialized cones as well. These interchangeable cones can:
- Create medium and ultra-thin shreds for slaws and garnishes.
- Slice thick or ruffle-edge cuts for salads, snacks, and appetizers.
- Prepare ingredients directly onto serving trays, pizza crusts, or mixing bowls—no extra mess.
All of these play a part in making the most of our homegrown vegetables in a variety of recipes. Let’s take a look at a few now!
Happy Apps
Gathering carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, and a handful of 
radishes from the garden to make some simple, healthy snacks. Just point and shoot onto a serving tray, like a platter or charcuterie board, power on, and press with the food guide to funnel each vegetable into wavy slices. These rippled cuts taste great served with your favorite dip or spread, like this homemade garlic hummus recipe. You can also mix up this Fresh and Lite Taco Dip by either chopping or shredding your lettuce before shooting it over a bed of tortilla chips. Then, pile on the toppings like queso fresco crumbled right from the SaladShooter. Or for a treat that’s spicy and savory, try this Crab Ball recipe with shredded crab, water chestnuts, and almonds. When it comes to the Professional SaladShooter, these appetizers are just the tip of the iceberg. (Or Romaine or Spring mix, whichever leafy greens you want.)
Magnificent Main Courses
This Cabbage-Apple Slaw gives a sweet, juicy crunch with every bite, while showing off all the uses of the Professional SaladShooter in the process. Slice or shred the red cabbage, then use the super shredder cone for thin, fine strands of apple to mix in. I also like using the 
ripple cone to shred a few slices of apple as a garnish on top. Then, you can crush the pineapple and peanuts with the medium shred cone to add even more flavor. Use the slice cone for thin slices of deli cheese such as Havarti or Asiago & add to a ciabatta bun for a tasty summer sandwich!
This margherita pizza makes for a more substantial main course, with fresh Roma tomatoes right off the vine, thin-sliced by the SaladShooter! Top with some spinach and oregano from the garden, along with a healthy heaping of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. You can even shoot the cheese right on top of your sauce, tomatoes, and other toppings on the pizza. Then, just bake and serve for a crispy and savory slice of heaven at dinnertime.
Sweet Summer Desserts
From moist carrot cake to crunchy apple crisp, the SaladShooter makes dessert prep quick and effortless. Shred carrots in seconds for a soft and sweet carrot cake, or slice apples and pears thick for an apple-pear crisp layered with oats and brown sugar. You can even top either of these with some finely-ground walnuts for a nutty, earthy garnish at the end.
Slice, Shred and Serve All Summer Long
With the Professional SaladShooter electric slicer, you can enjoy faster prep times, fresher flavors, and endless summer recipe possibilities. Perfect for anyone who loves garden-to-table cooking—one delicious slice at a time. Get yours here today!
