Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1⁄4 cup sliced almonds
  • 50g goat’s cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Method


  • Using a vegetable peeler or mandolin, thinly shave the zucchinis lengthwise into ribbons. Place ribbons in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small frying pan over medium heat, toast sliced almonds until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 mins. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
  • Add toasted almonds, crumbled goat’s cheese, mint, basil and dill to the bowl with zucchini ribbons.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad ingredients in the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly.
  • Transfer salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetiser.
