Ingredients
For the Dressing
- 1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces)
- 1/4 cup packed fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, dill, or parsley)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini: Trim and discard the woody stem of your zucchini, then slice the zucchini into large chunks to ensure easy blending.
- Combine ingredients: Add the zucchini chunks to a blender along with the fresh herbs, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper.
- Blend to smooth: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, ensuring a creamy texture. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning or sweetness as desired.
- Store: Transfer the dressing to a tightly sealed container and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps the flavors meld and keeps the dressing fresh.
