- For the salad:
- 240 grams zucchini
- 25 grams cherry tomatoes
- 25 grams bell pepper
- 50 grams fennel
- 40 grams feta cheese
- 5 fresh mint leaves
- 15 grams caramelized pistachios*
- For the herb vinaigrette:
- Ingredients for 3 servings:
- 20 grams soy sauce
- 20 grams maple syrup
- 8 grams cilantro
- 8 grams parsley
- 8 grams white miso**
- 30 grams lemon juice
- 20 grams white balsamic vinegar
- 50 grams olive oil
- Cut the zucchini into strips. There are two ways to do this: either with a spiralizer, which is easy to find in stores, or with a mandolin and a knife. If using a mandolin, slice the zucchini thinly, then cut the slices into strips with a knife.
- For the bell pepper, place it on the stovetop until it chars. Once the skin is black, place the pepper in a closed container for 10 minutes. Remove the pepper and peel it, then cut the flesh into thin strips.
- Slice the fennel with a mandolin to get fine strips.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
- For the vinaigrette, place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until you get a smooth dressing.
- To assemble the salad, place the zucchini strips, fennel, bell pepper and cherry tomatoes in a bowl.
- Add the dressing and mix well.
- Top with crumbled feta, caramelized pistachios and mint leaves.
*To make 15 grams of caramelized pistachios:
- Preheat oven to 160°C.
- Mix 10 grams of confectioners' sugar with just under 1 centiliter of water. Coat 15 grams of pistachios with this mixture.
- Spread everything out on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until caramelized.
- Let cool slightly before removing.
**Note: In Lebanon, it is possible to find white miso here
