Raw Courgette/Zucchini Dish

Picture gotten from EricadHouse

Hey!

I know it's been forever since I last put up a recipe on here. So sorry. :(
The recipe I am putting up today is a raw vegan one. Raw vegan. Random, right? Well....I'm on a 14 days raw vegan detox and for 6 days now, I've been eating as a raw vegan. I've learnt a couple of things since I started this detox and come up with the most delicious meals. Here's one of them that I've had twice in the past 3 or so days now.

Ingredients
1 courgette (known as 'zucchini' in the States)
1 medium sized tomato
1/3 of a red/purple onion
1/3 of a yellow bell pepper

Method

  • Using a peeler (one similar to a Julienne Peeler), shred up a courgette making sure not to shred up or put the seeds/the core in the bowl you are shredding into. You may choose to peel the skin off of the courgette first, but I've only done that once and I actually kinda like the skin on for this dish.
  • Add some water to the bowl containing the courgettes (enough to cover the courgettes) and leave the courgettes in for about 20-30 seconds before draining out the water thoroughly.
  • Dice up the tomato and mix it in with the courgettes
  • Dice up the onion and bell pepper and mix it in with the courgettes too.
  • Leave the courgette dish to sit and "marinate" for a minute or two (maybe 3) and then eat it. It tastes amazing.
Bon appétit! :)
