Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped or sliced almonds, hazelnuts, brazil nuts (or any other nut)
1 cup loosely packed basil leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large carrot
1 large yellow squash
1 large zucchini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put the nuts in a small dry skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Combine the nuts, basil, parsley, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until very finely ground. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil and process until well combined.
  • Use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to slice the vegetables into ribbons. With the yellow squash and zucchini, it is easiest to slice the sides, working around the core (and then discarding the core). Toss the vegetable ribbons together in a bowl. Add just enough pesto to lightly coat, then add the lemon juice and Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve immediately (any remaining pesto can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week).

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra herbs and spices to the dressing to give it more flavor.

The dressing was a bit too oily for my taste. I'll try using less oil next time.

I had some leftover grilled chicken, so I added it to the salad for some extra protein. It turned out amazing! The chicken added a smoky flavor that really took the salad to the next level.

The dressing is the star of the show! I used a combination of pistachios and almonds, and the pesto turned out so rich and flavorful. It perfectly complemented the crisp veggies in the salad. Definitely a keeper!
