Raw zucchini salad |
Quick recipe post for y'all today! A few weekends ago, I saw a delicious-looking zucchini salad on the lovely Sarah Vs Carbs' instagram and was immediately inspired to make something similar. I know we're all about the zucchini noodles right now, but zucchini thinly sliced crosswise is just as delicious, and doesn't require precision grating with a scary mandoline, or the faff of a food processor.
I went for a classic flavour combo, and layered the zucchini slices in a serving bowl with torn mint, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. And I topped them with toasted pumpkin seeds for some green crunch. Pretty!
I had the salad as a light lunch with another salad (Lorraine's Bondi Salad, to be precise, with roast cauliflower, red onions, quinoa and goats cheese), and I took leftovers of both salads to work for lunches for the week. I think the zucchini salad would be perfect as part of an Ottolenghi-style spread of salads, or as an accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meats. Enjoy!
