The zucchini salad is a fresh and vibrant way to serve green vegies. This combination goes well with lamb and makes a cracking side to a good steak. For a complete, meat-free meal, it's brilliant with goat's cheese and crusty bread to mop it all up.

Method

  1. 1. For the dressing, put the lemon juice, half the zest, honey, soy sauce, mustard and oil into a small jar. Seal the lid, give it a quick shake, season and put aside until needed.

    2. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the zucchini, then cut the snowpeas into thin strips and put the vegetables into a salad bowl.

    3. Mix in the parmesan, nuts, herbs and dressing, season again and top with remaining lemon zest.

    Suggestion: For a meal this is great served with lamb tenderloins with eschalots and salsa verde
