About the recipe

This crunchy side dish can be made in a snap, with a simple yet flavorful vinaigrette and lots of crowd-pleasing veggies.

Use a mandoline, a type of hand slicer, to julienne the vegetables. You can also cut them by hand into matchstick pieces or use the large shredder blade on a food processor. When cutting the zucchini and squash, use only the outside portions, not the seeds.
