Vegetarian zucchini salad
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. This vegetarian zucchini salad is a very unusual dish. The ingredients seem simple and quite common, but thanks to its original presentation, the dish is truly competitive :) I recommend it not only to vegetarians but also to omnivores—the salad is definitely worth trying, perfect as a snack or breakfast option. Well, as Bender used to say, let's get down to business. You can serve it right away.

Step 5
Place the chopped lettuce leaves into a salad bowl, pour the dressing over them, then top with zucchini balls—and serve immediately, while the balls are still warm. Although you can serve it cold, it won't be quite as delicious.
