Ingredients
  

  • 2 small zucchinis
  • 1 small mango peeled, large dice
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds roasted and salted
  • 1-2 Tbsp mint thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese crumbled

Lemon Vinaigrette

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Rinse zucchini. Cut zucchini in half, crosswise so the ribbons will be about 3 inches long. Then use a vegetable peeler to firmly press down and shave slices, or use a mandoline for slicing. Place zucchini ribbons on the serving platter or bowl.
  • Top the zucchini ribbons, with diced mango, sunflower seeds, goat cheese and mint.
  • Combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small jar and shake well. Drizzle the dressing over the whole salad before serving.

Notes

NOTE: Leave the stem and base on the zucchini to help grip while slicing with the vegetable peeler. A portion of the zucchini will be leftover and unable to be sliced.
