Raw Courgette (Zucchini) Jungle Green Salad

And yes, zucchini can be eaten raw, folks! It’s completely safe, the nutrient count is higher than its cooked counterpart, and it goes oh so well with Hippidippi’s very own Jungle Green.

So while zucchini pasta is a smart way to cut out the carbs that real pasta contains, here we skip the boiling and opt for time-saving zucchini ribbons. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 container Jungle Green
• 2 medium-large courgettes (zucchinis)
• 1/4 tsp lemon zest
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp good quality olive oil
• A pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1 tbsp chopped basil
• Chopped pistachios (garnish)

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, and Jungle Green. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
2. Shave the courgettes into ribbons lengthwise with a peeler, stopping at the seedy core.
3. Add the courgette ribbons, mint, and basil to the bowl and mix well.
4. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with pistachios.
5. Done!
