Fresh zucchini salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. This salad is perfect for a hot day, as the rather watery zucchini will hydrate your body and leave you feeling refreshed. The special feature of this salad is the way the zucchini is cut—it resembles green noodles in the finished dish. The dressing turns out deliciously sweet thanks to the honey, and aromatic from the dried herbs (I personally use coriander, but you can substitute it). I recommend serving this salad with cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, as it looks absolutely stunning. Serve chilled.
