Courgette zoodle salad

Serves: 4
Prep: 10
Cook: 5

    This simple salad can be served as a side dish or a light main meal.

    Ingredients

    • 3 tbsp oregano leaves, stalks removed
    • 50ml sunflower oil
    • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    • 1 tsp honey
    • 2 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tbsp Marmite™
    • 100g blanched almonds, roughly chopped
    • 4 medium courgettes

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Finely chop the oregano leaves and place in a small jug. Add the oil, lemon juice and Marmite™ and mix. Allow to infuse.

    2. Step 2

      Heat a dry frypan on medium to low heat. Add the almonds and using a wooden spoon, stir continuously. Once golden, tip them out onto a plate to prevent them overcooking.

    3. Step 3

      Wash the courgettes, then trim off the top and bottom. Using a spiralizer, cut into ‘zoodles” or use a regular potato peeler to cut long thin strips.

    4. Step 4

      Place the courgettes and almonds in a large serving bowl. Add the dressing and toss to combine

    5. Step 5

      Garnish with fresh herbs to serve.

    Tips

    • This salad can be made with any nut or seed you prefer – toasted walnuts, pumpkin seeds or cashews are great substitutes.
    • For extra protein add crumbled reduced-fat feta or grated hard cheese like Parmesan.
