When stored in an airtight jar, this zucchini salad can last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
This salad is relatively low in carbs, but the sugar in the marinade adds some. For a stricter low-carb version, you can reduce or substitute the sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol.
Absolutely! Bell peppers, onions, or even cucumbers would make great additions. Just ensure they are cut uniformly and adjust the marinade quantity if needed.
Freezing is not recommended, as the zucchini may become mushy when thawed. This salad is best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge.
This salad pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a tangy side dish for sandwiches. It also works great on a charcuterie board.
Yes, but use about 1/3 of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated. Fresh dill is preferred for the best flavor, though.
