Raw Vegetable “Pasta” with Tomatoes and Herbs
This easy salad is a great way to showcase fresh summer produce. It’s also very fast to prepare, especially if you use a spiralizer or mandolin. If you like, you can also mix in some of your other favorite summer produce (sweet corn cut off the cob works well in this), or substitute some other fresh summer herbs (Italian parsley and tarragon are also good in this).
Ingredients:
2 zucchini squash, shaved thinly lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
2 yellow summer squash, shaved thinly lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

5 oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1/2 shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano
Method:
In a large bowl, gently toss together all ingredients. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
