Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer. Transfer the noodles to a fine mesh sieve and sit the sieve over a bowl and sprinkle with the salt and toss to combine. Leave the noodles for 15 to 20 minutes. Squeeze the noodles gently to remove any excess liquid and add to a large bowl.
  2. Add the roma tomatoes, grape tomatoes, spring onions, mint and rocket (arugula) and toss well to combine.
  3. Make the dressing by adding all of the ingredients to a jar and shaking to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat everything in the dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds and serve.

Notes

  • If making ahead of time, keep the rocket (arugula) and toasted sunflower seeds separate and add, along with the dressing, just before serving.
