shaved carrot and zucchini salad
Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to make the shaved carrot and zucchini pieces.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Shaved carrots and zucchini give this simple salad a fancy feel. Bits of thinly sliced red onions add a pop of color and a little bite. Simple and tangy, the dressing is a nice contrast to the fresh veggies. The little bits of torn mint leaves add a cool and sweet flavor. This would be a delicious and light side dish with grilled fish or chicken in warmer months. We suggest tasting the dressing when preparing. If it's too tart, add a little extra sugar.
