Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Carrot
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Toasted almonds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini and carrot thoroughly. Using a julienne peeler or spiralizer, cut the zucchini and carrot into thin, noodle-like strips. Place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the zucchini and carrot mixture. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Step 4

Roughly chop the toasted almonds and sprinkle them over the salad.

Step 5

Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top for garnish.

Step 6

Serve immediately for a crisp and fresh salad, or let it sit in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
