Zucchini Noodle & Pine Nut Salad

11/04/2015 By Caralee 3 Comments

Zuchinni & Basil SaladThis salad is so fresh and delicious, it is perfect as a lunch by itself, as a side to a main meal or a dish that you can whip together to take to a BBQ. This salad is super crunchy, which I just love! This morning at the Farmers Markets there were loads of gorgeous zucchini which is what inspired me to make this salad for our Saturday lunch. I also bought some fresh scallops from the markets, so I seared them in the pan until they caramelised and topped the salad with seared scallops. Oh la la it was a fabulous lunch! I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my husband Cameron and I did.

    None of your delicious looking dishes give an indication on how many servings they make. Would if be possible to give me an idea for the salads and the carbonara?

    Many thanks

      This one will make two servings for a main meal or 4 – 6 serves if you make it as a side dish. 🙂 xx
