Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons (depending on your preference). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Finely chop the fresh tarragon leaves and set them aside.
Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, dry white wine, honey, minced garlic (from 1 clove), salt, black pepper, and lemon zest until emulsified.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped tarragon.
Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Let the salad marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option. Garnish with extra tarragon leaves if desired.
