ZUCCHINI CUCUMBER SALAD



Zucchini Cucumber Salad image

This raw zucchini cucumber salad with a lemon basil vinaigrette is a fun and healthy way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.

Provided by Liz DellaCroce

Categories     Salad

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium zucchini
1 medium cucumber
2 cups arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
1 juice of lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh basil (minced)
1 teaspoon dijon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.
  • Trim both ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to create long, wide ribbons. I find that it's easiest to place the zucchini flat on a cutting board and peel the vegetable horizontally.
  • Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.
  • Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD WITH ZUCCHINI AND BLACK OLIVES IN LEMON BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Cucumber Tomato Salad with Zucchini and Black Olives in Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette image

This is a deliciously light and fresh-tasting twist on cucumber tomato salad. It takes me to the water's edge, and begs to be served with fresh seafood. Substitute Greek kalamata olives for black olives if desired.
