- 2 medium zucchinis
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
- ½ cup parsley basil and dill, chopped
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds toasted
- ½ lemon juiced
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon crossly ground black pepper

Start by making the zucchini ribbons.
Cut both the top and bottom ends off the zucchini. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin slices of the zucchini. When you peeled enough thin slices to get to the middle of the zucchini with the seeds, rotate the zucchini and keep peeling from the other side. Discard the centre part of the zucchini, but don't throw it away! Shred it and use it in other recipes.

Stir together all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl.

Place the zucchini ribbons in a serving bowl. Pour over the dressing, top with the herbs, pumpkin seeds, feta cheese and a pinch of chili flakes.
Gently stir together the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
