Slice the zucchini into rounds as thin as you can. I used a mandolin which made paper thin slices. You can also use a vegetable peeler to make long thin strips.
set aside.
Toast the macadamia nuts and the sunflower seeds in a 350 degree oven for about 6 minutes. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, lemon juice, honey, tamari and salt until well combined.
