Ingredients

1 medium zucchini1 medium cucumber2 cups arugula1 cup cherry tomatoes halved1 juice of lemon2 tablespoons olive oil2 tablespoons fresh basil minced1 teaspoon dijon1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.

2.Trim both ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to create long, wide ribbons. I find that it's easiest to place the zucchini flat on a cutting board and peel the vegetable horizontally.

3. Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.

4. Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

5. Eat for healthy weight.
