Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Spiralize all 4 zucchini and place the noodles in a large bowl. Pat them gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil to the zucchini noodles. Drizzle the dressing over everything and toss until evenly coated. Serve right away.

Notes

If you plan to let the salad sit for more than an hour before serving, salt the zucchini noodles lightly and let them drain in a colander for 10 minutes, then press with a towel before building the salad. That prevents a watery bowl.
