Zucchini Hazelnut Salad
A light and refreshing salad that looks and tastes like summer! Use a vegetable peeler to cut zucchini into ribbons or a veggie spiralizer to make zoodles.
Total Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Large Zucchini, cut into thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler or mandoline (or 2 small zucchini)
- 1/2 c Hazelnuts
- 1/2 c Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Fresh Pepper
- Optional: Basil, Mint or Parsley For Garnish
Instructions
Make The Dressing
-
Mix together lemon juice, zest, oil, S+P and sugar and set aside.
-
In a wide bowl add zucchini, nuts and feta.
-
When ready to serve, in a large bowl gently toss the dressing with the zucchini, cheese and nuts.
-
Garnish with basil, mint or parsley if using.
-
Serve right away. (Do not toss until just before eating, this will wilt fast and while it's still delicious the next day for lunch, it won't look as pretty)
