Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Toasted almond slices
Instructions
Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the zucchini, carrots, and cucumber into thin, long ribbons. Avoid the seeds in the cucumber as they may break the ribbons.
Place the vegetable ribbons in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable ribbons and gently toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
Chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salad for a burst of flavor.
Transfer the ribbon salad to a serving platter and garnish with toasted almond slices for a crunchy topping.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
