Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Yellow squash
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline slicer, create thin ribbons of zucchini, carrots, and yellow squash. Set the ribbons aside in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mixing bowl with the ribbon vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable ribbons and gently toss to coat evenly.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetable mixture for added flavor and garnish.
Let the Veggie Ribbon Toss sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a chilled version.
