Foodie Fun with Chef Brandon: Zesty Zucchini Ribbon Salad

This delicious summer salad is healthy, light, loaded with flavor and simple to make on a warm summer day.

The Greenmarket is overflowing with zucchini in every single direction and how fun is zucchini ribbons! If you’re a wiz with a mandolin, I recommend using it to slice your zucchini. You’ll want to put it on a setting to get paper thin slices if you do not have a mandolin, a vegetable peeler can be used make these beautiful green and white ribbons.
