Fresh and raw zucchini noodle salad

Serves:

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 1 zucchini
• 6 cherry tomato (halved)
• 8 kalamata olives (pitted, quartered)
• 1 handful basil leaves
• 1 handful rocket leaves
• 1 splash extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbs lime juice
• 1/2 lime zest
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1 portion goat’s cheese (crumbled, *optional)
• chilli flakes (to taste, *optional)

Method

Make the zucchini noodles – if you don’t have a spiraliser, use a potato peeler to make thick strips then cut them into thinner strips.

Pop the noodles into a bowl with the cherry tomatoes, olives, basil and rocket.

Make dressing by combining olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over salad ingredients and gently mix.

If you have time, allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes, then it’s good to go with an extra crack of salt and pepper. Add the crumbled goat’s cheese and/or chilli if using.
