Make Nourishing Zucchini Recipe In Less Than 10 Minutes
You know those days when you feel like eating something refreshing and light but fulfilling at the same time? One of such recipes I go to over and over again is this zucchini recipe. Additional plus is that you can make this salad in less than 10 minutes.
It’s light and packed with fresh herbs so you can be sure that your body will be thanking you for this. This dressing is what makes this zucchini recipe shine because it’s lemony, sweet, and lush at the same time. And to keep the things interesting, the salad holds some crunchy surprise too.
Let’s dive in!
It Takes One Divine Dressing To Take Your Raw Zucchini Salad To Another Level
Zucchini is one of those veggies with mild taste but they are so great because they usually soak up the other flavours you surround them with. So, for this salad, I still wanted to feel the zucchini flavours but lift them up a bit. Also, the salad really shines when paired up with a sweet-and-sour dressing hence I came up with a recipe that you can whisk up in a minute.
You’ll need only three ingredients: lemon juice, olive oil, and maple syrup. First, try to make a dressing that has a perfect balance of acidity from lemon and sweetness from maple. The dressing gives the salad a rich and lush taste thanks to gorgeous olive oil.
Without further ado, Let’s jump to the full recipe below and let’s start assembling the salad!
