It’s called the Magic Green Salad because of its disappearing abilities! This salad disappeared very quickly. I think it might have something to do with the deliciously crusty roasted potatoes and asparagus. Just a guess though.
The picture makes the salad look small, but it’s really on a huge platter. If you don’t already follow a plant based diet, try this out for a meatless Monday dinner. I think you’ll be satisfied.
I made an avocado dressing for this but I think it would be really great with balsamic vinaigrette as well. And to get your zucchini really thin use a mandoline
