Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Toasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and carrot thoroughly. Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, cut the zucchini and carrot into thin, noodle-like strips. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the zucchini and carrot mixture. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
Roughly chop the toasted almonds and sprinkle them over the salad.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately for a crisp and fresh salad, or let it sit in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
