Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Toasted sunflower seeds
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler, create long, thin strands of carrots and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Spiralize or julienne them as well, and add to the bowl with the carrots.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetable mixture in the bowl.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat the carrots and zucchini evenly.
Sprinkle toasted sunflower seeds on top for added crunch and garnish.
Serve immediately or chill for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
