Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, slice the zucchinis into thin ribbons or spirals and place them in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the zucchini.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion, adding it to the bowl as well.
Chop the fresh basil leaves roughly and sprinkle them over the vegetables in the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently, ensuring all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top of the salad for added crunch and texture.
Serve the salad immediately as a side dish, or cover and refrigerate for up to one hour if you prefer a colder salad. Enjoy!
