Ingredients

1 large zucchini

1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

1 Tbs balsamic glaze

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Grate the zucchini, using the larger option. Salt and leave for 5 minutes for the liquid to come out.

Meanwhile, toast the pumpkin seeds until slightly golden. Squeeze out the excess liquid ( the more you can get out the more concentrated the flavour of the salad).

Now add the pumpkin seeds to the zucchini and drizzle the balsamic glaze and toss through. Add more salt to taste and crack fresh pepper.

Tips

the more liquid you can get out of the zucchini, the better. The zucchini will continue to release liquid and if you don't get enough out, you'll end up with a sloppy salad.
