Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 3 medium-sized Carrots
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.333 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, julienne the carrots, and cut the bell peppers into thin strips.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place all the prepped vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, chopped tarragon, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and water to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the vegetables and marinade to a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Let the vegetables marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 2–3 hours, to absorb the flavors.
Before serving, toss the vegetables once again to redistribute the marinade. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
