Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lemon Zucchini Salad.
Step 1
Start by placing your thinly sliced zucchini in a colander and letting it rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
This little step helps drain off any excess juices, ensuring your dish isn’t too watery.
Step 3
Once the time is up, grab a paper towel and gently pat the zucchini dry.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with sliced onion and freshly minced parsley.
Step 5
This colorful mix is not only vibrant but also packed with flavor! In a separate bowl, whisk together the zesty lemon peel, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a touch of sugar.
Step 6
Don’t forget to season this delightful dressing with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 7
Now, while you whisk continuously, slowly drizzle in some light olive oil.
Step 8
This will help create a beautifully emulsified dressing that brings everything together.
Step 9
Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the zucchini mixture and toss gently to ensure every ingredient is coated evenly.
Step 10
This dish is not just a salad; it’s a celebration of fresh flavors that will brighten up any meal! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
