Print

This Zucchini Salad with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette, Pine Nuts and Fresh Herbs is the ultimate summer salad! Bright, cool and refreshing, this tastes even better when you’re sitting outside, soaking up the sunshine!

“Raw zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables to put in a salad. It adds a perfect fresh crunch to anything you put it in and is a great way to use up all the zucchini that floods the market in the summertime. Make sure to slice the zucchini as thin as possible and toss with the dressing just before serving.”

Further Food Commentary:
