Use a peeler to shave long ribbons of zucchini and carrots. Sautee´ over medium heat until slightly wilted (3-5 min.?), with a bit of olive oil. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Garnish with edible flowers! (I found some wild radish and mustard flowers growing nearby, but a lot of farmers markets have edible flowers during the summer.)

Enjoy!

It was so fun to share this dish on A Cup of Jo last week and I’m excited to share it with you now! It’s one of the prettiest, simplest salads I know. You wouldn’t necessarily think red onion goes with citrus but it does! They really compliment each other, in my opinion- especially with the herbs and some sea salt. The citrus juices combine with the olive oil naturally on the plate to make a lovely dressing. Enjoy!

A salad for lovers! Chop all the ingredients small and form into a heart shape on each plate (I used cherry tomatoes as a border and then filled in). Dress with a light vinaigrette and enjoy!
