Mandoline Slicer

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
1 yellow squash
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
1 lemon juiced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp fresh dill
salt & pepper to taste
¼ cup parmesan cheese ribbons
¼ cup walnuts chopped
mixed greens of choice

Instructions

Using a mandolin (on the thinnest setting) slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin ribbons and add to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, make the marinade by adding olive oil, honey, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the marinade over the squash and toss gently to coat so that the ribbons don’t break.
Cover & refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Before serving, salt the salad. Place on a bed of greens, we used spinach and arugula, and top with parmesan cheese and chopped walnuts (optional).
