Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons (depending on your preference). Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh tarragon leaves and set them aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, dry white wine, honey, minced garlic (from 1 clove), salt, black pepper, and lemon zest until emulsified.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped tarragon.

Step 5

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Let the salad marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option. Garnish with extra tarragon leaves if desired.
