Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Garlic Zucchini Noodle Salad.
Step 1
To create a delightful vinaigrette, start by whisking together fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, dried basil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
As you whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, continuing to mix until the vinaigrette is beautifully combined and emulsified.
Step 3
Set this vibrant dressing aside for later.
Step 4
Next, grab your spiralizer and transform the zucchini into long, luscious noodle strands, affectionately known as zoodles.
Step 5
If the strands are a bit too lengthy for your liking, simply use kitchen shears to snip them into more manageable pieces.
Step 6
In a large bowl, toss the zoodles with fresh cilantro, adding a burst of flavor and color.
Step 7
Just before you’re ready to serve, pour the prepared vinaigrette over the zoodles and gently toss everything together, ensuring each strand is coated in that zesty goodness.
Step 8
Take a moment to taste and adjust the seasoning if needed; this is your chance to make it just right! For a delightful crunch, sprinkle some pine nuts on top, and then serve your dish immediately.
Step 9
Enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors that come together in this simple yet satisfying meal!.
