How to make zucchini mint salad
All you need for this keto vegan salad is a large zucchini, fresh mint, fresh parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. Summer flavours in one bowl!
I used my spiralizer to make curls of the zucchini, but you could grate this instead. If you were serving more than one person, serve them in small individual bowls for an added cuteness factor.
The salad is best serve fresh as the zucchini can become watery if left out too long.
Recipe Tips
Make sure you salt the zucchini well to get rid of the moisture as you do not want to be left with a bowl of water.
Tomatoes are optional, you could serve with another low carb vegetable or keep the zucchini salad plain with the herb dressing.
You could play around with other herbs with this too, perhaps coriander and extra lemon?
