fresh

¼ tspchili flakes

½ tspdried oregano

2 TbspSun-dried tomatoes

2Brazil nuts

1 ½ cupsShort grain brown rice
cooked, optional, to serve with
Instructions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying off a zucchini. (You can also double or triple the recipe by making a few.)
Step 2
Use a vegetable peeler or a mandolin slicer to carefully thinly slice the zucchini. The key here is to get very thin slices.
Step 3
Add to a bowl and then mix together the remaining ingredients (excluding pine nuts, sun dried tomato and Brazil nut parmesan).
Step 4
Gently mix the zucchini with the dressing together until well coated.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to sit for at least 10 minutes before enjoying to allow all the texture to soften a little more and flavors to come together.
Step 6
I like to serve with cooked brown rice but you can enjoy on it’s own or to accompany a protein or grain.
Step 7
To a dry sauté pan or toaster oven, toast the pine nuts for a few minutes to allow them to toast and become slightly golden brown. Keep a close eye and remove from the heat when once they begin to slightly brown.
Step 8
Cool and add to the salad, with sun-dried tomatoes and grate a few Brazil nuts for the the vegan “parmesan”. Enjoy!
