Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini spiralised (or shredded/grated)
  • 1 ripe tomato chopped

Dressing

  • ¼ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin (depending on preference)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
  • Pinch salt​ (⅛ teaspoon or to taste)
  • 1 small/medium garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon coriander/cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red jalepeno chilli pepper (or ½ chilli - optional) chopped
  • ½ teaspoon spring onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Using a spiraliser, twist the courgette/zucchini to form spirals and add to a medium bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, using a spoon mix together the vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, minced garlic, chopped coriander, basil, jalapeño pepper and spring onions/green onions.
  • Evenly pour the dressing over the zucchini/courgette and add the chopped tomatoes and toss ingredients together. Serve and enjoy or store in the fridge for later!

Notes

  1. Use fresh ingredients: for best results, use fresh, high quality ingredients when preparing this salad.  
  2. Dressing: Finely chop the coriander, basil, chilli pepper and spring onions to release their flavour in the dressing. Use a mincer to mince the garlic (rather than chopping the garlic clove) as this helps give you a smooth garlic paste which blends in perfectly with the dressing.
  3. Storage tips: You can serve this salad at room temperature or chilled based on your preferences. This salad can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, before serving give the salad a final stir.
