Zucchini Salad

Who else enjoys having a plate full of greens for lunch? I love the taste and texture of raw zucchini so I decided to make that the base of my salad rather than lettuce. What’s even better is how fast it is to make it; which is ideal for busy days. This salad is topped with a modified version of a Green Goddess Dressing. I made it with Vegan Ranch Dressing for the base, and the recipe is HERE. If you don’t want to make your own ranch, you can buy it from any grocer.

Start off with spiralizing your zucchini and add tomatoes. After that top it with pea shoots, lime flavored dried chickpeas, avocado and pumpkin seeds. The dried chickpeas add a wonderful crunch that takes the place of croutons. If you don’t like dried chickpeas, you can use canned ones but just make sure that it is rinsed well.
