Phew, so that title is a mouthful!!! There was really no shorter way to describe this salad though.. I want you to know EXACTLY what’s in it!!! So many fresh and vibrant and HAPPY flavours, and take SO little time to put together… 15 mins and it was on the table, seriously!! How’s that for lunch?

I was out shopping for my 13 year old’s upcoming birthday and found this little gem of a book at the Urban Outfitters store… yes, they sell some fun books! So I had a quick glance through and icked it up right away… I mean, it’s not an epic recipe book, written by a famous celebrity chef or anything, but I just liked the message… who says catchy covers don’t sell?,)

Basically it’s all about the kinds of foods that can perk you up… And now that summer’s approaching, that’s rather helpful… omega 3 (salmon) is HUGE for making us happy and can be found in loads of other things like mackerel, flax seeds and walnuts! All the stuff we love! And it’s a mood booster… more salmon please! This salad I just threw together… it isn’t in the book but I was so inspired after just flipping through some of the fun and energy boosting recipe, I thought this might be a good one!

So start by "ribboning" your courgette.. just cut the bottom end off and stand it straight and use a potato peeler to do the job from top to bottom! You could use a mandoline obviously but I don't possess one...
