I love vegetables. Not that I’m a vegetarian, and the idea of a good rib-eye makes me salivate. But that’s not on the agenda today. I will make a refreshing salad of courgettes with mint and chillies.
I don’t understand why vegetables have such a bad reputation. It doesn’t make sense, they do taste so good. Maybe it’s just the way people cook them? Often boiled or drowned in cream. No cream here, nor too much fat.
A little mint, lemon to season and a dash of fresh chilli to spice up the flavours. A real treat! And, get ready to eat your courgette raw. Yes, raw! Who would have thought it? But, joking aside, this recipe is super fresh, tasty and good for you. What more could you ask for?

Since its discovery in one of Jamie Oliver’s shows, it has become a classic at home. The taste is quite exceptional, it’s Fresh, crunchy and tasty. And the lemon and mint mixture gives a lot of character to this very simple salad. The extra chilli is just right in the mouth. Without further ado, follow the guide and let yourself be surprised.
