ZUCCHINI CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.

• Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.
• Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
