Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Make the vinaigrette: Whisk lemon juice, garlic, mustard, honey, basil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle in olive oil and whisk until vinaigrette emulsifies; set aside.

Step 2

Make the salad: Cut zucchini into zoodles using the thin blade of a spiralizer. The strands will be very long, so cut them into manageable lengths with kitchen shears. Place zoodles into a large bowl and add cilantro.

Step 3

Pour vinaigrette over zoodles right before serving. Toss to gently coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve immediately.
