Zucchini salad with orange - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute balsamic vinegar in the marinade?

Yes! Apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar work well as substitutes for balsamic vinegar, though the flavor will be slightly different.

How long can I store this zucchini salad in the fridge?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day. The zucchini may soften over time.

Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb diet?

Yes! This salad is naturally low in carbs, with the primary sources being zucchini and oranges, both of which are relatively low-carb ingredients.

Can I add protein to make this salad a complete meal?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas would pair nicely with the flavors of this salad.

What’s the best way to slice the zucchini thinly?

Use a mandoline or a sharp knife for even, thin slices. If using a knife, take your time for consistent results.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

You can prep components ahead (slice zucchini, make marinade), but assemble just before serving to maintain texture.

What other herbs can I use instead of basil?

Mint, parsley, or thyme would add a fresh twist to this salad.

Can I use lemon juice instead of orange juice for finishing?

Yes, lemon juice will add a brighter, tangier flavor but still complement the dish well.

How can I adjust this recipe for a larger crowd?

Simply double or triple the ingredients, keeping the marinating time the same for consistency.

Is this salad freezer-friendly?

No, freezing will drastically alter the texture of the zucchini and oranges, so it’s not recommended.
