- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Step 1
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or spiralizer, slice the zucchinis into thin ribbons or spirals and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together to form the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything gently, ensuring all the ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
