Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly under cold water.
- Using a vegetable peeler or a spiralizer, create long, thin ribbons from the zucchini. Work your way around the zucchini until you reach the seedy core, which you can discard or save for another use.
- Place the zucchini ribbons in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of finely chopped tarragon, 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and emulsified.
- Pour the tarragon-lemon dressing over the zucchini ribbons in the large bowl.
- Gently toss the ribbons with tongs or a large spoon to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Arrange the marinated zucchini ribbons on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Garnish with additional tarragon leaves if desired for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Serve the lemon-tarragon zucchini ribbons immediately as a refreshing side dish or light salad. Enjoy the fresh, tangy, and herbaceous flavors!
Tips:
- Use a vegetable peeler to create thin, even ribbons of zucchini for best results.
- Be sure to pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel before cooking to remove excess moisture.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper or a sprinkle of finely grated lemon zest.
- If you prefer a warm version, lightly sauté the zucchini ribbons in a pan for 1-2 minutes before adding the other ingredients.
- Fresh tarragon can be substituted with dried tarragon, but use it sparingly as dried herbs are more potent.
Your Lemon-Tarragon Zucchini Ribbons are now ready to serve! This light and delicious dish combines the subtle flavors of tarragon and the zing of lemon to perfectly complement the tender zucchini. It's a versatile side that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or even on its own. Enjoy!
