INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THE AVOCADO AND zucchini SALAD

Onion. The onion is chopped into small squares. As small as you can. You can substitute it for red onion, shallots, or scallions.
White wine vinegar. The idea is to use mild vinegar; you can use champagne or apple cider vinegar (affiliate link).
Zucchini cut into strips, noodles, or diced.
Diced avocado
Olive oil
Sea salt, you can also use Kosher salt or Himalayan salt.

HOW TO MAKE RAW zucchini and avocado SALAD?

The first thing is to cut the onion and put it in vinegar. The vinegar takes away the bite and spiciness of the onion but leaves it crisp and perfect.
The second thing is to prepare the zucchini. There are three different ways to prepare it. The first is to use a spiralizer (affiliate link) and make noodles. The second way to prepare it is by dicing the zucchini; you don’t need any special kitchen gadget or appliance. And the third way is to use a julienne cutter.
The third thing to do is assemble the salad and cut the avocado. In a bowl, put the zucchini, and on top, add the diced avocado. Garnish with the dressing -pickled onion, a tablespoon of oil, and salt.

TIPS TO MAKE THE PERFECT PUMPKIN AND AVOCADO RECIPE

Do NOT add salt; season the salad at the very end. When we work with zucchini or another vegetable with high water content, it is better to season at the end. The salt draws the moisture out of the ingredients.
If you are taking this salad to a picnic or a friend’s house, put it together before you arrive.
The same at home; prepare this raw zucchini recipe before eating it. You can have the onion already cut and the zucchini as well. But don’t put the salad together before you sit at the table.

IDEAS TO SERVE THE ZUCCHINI SALAD

It is perfect if you serve it as a starter with some totopos ( air fried corn tortilla chips (affiliate link)).
It can also be served as a side for a vegan burger.
You can serve it on top of quinoa or brown rice.
On top of some good toasted homemade bread, make it a loaded avocado toast.
