This cool and refreshing zucchini salad definitely hits the spot when it's too hot to turn on the stove. Serve this salad right away as the zucchini will start to wilt the longer it sits.
Recipe type: salad
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • ¼c macadamia nuts
  • ¼c sunflower seeds
  • ¼c avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1t dijon mustard
  • 1T honey
  • ¼t sea salt
  • 2T fresh lemon juice
  • 1t tamari
  • 1 bunch baby arugula or spinach
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, mustard, lemon juice, honey, tamari and salt until well combined.
  5. Add the shaved zucchini, nuts and seeds and toss gently until everything is coated with the dressing.
  6. Serve on a bed of the baby greens.
