Courgette, Pea & Apple Salad

What you’ll need to make Courgette Salad

• Courgettes

How to make Courgette salad

Start by cutting your courgette into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. You can also use a mandolin (but please be careful!).

Place all the salad ingredients in a bowl and gently mix. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle over a little olive oil.

In a smaller bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and whisk to emulsify. I always make extra dressing so that I can use it again in a future recipe as it stores really well in the fridge in an airtight container. 

When you are about to serve, pour over the dressing, gently mixing, and serve with some vegan feta cheese, if using.
