1. 👩🍳 Preparation steps
1️⃣ 🥒 Prepare the zucchinis or cucumbers
Wash the zucchinis then slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. The thinner the slices, the easier they will be to digest.
2️⃣ 🧅 Slice the white onion
Cut the white onion into thin slices. Quickly rinse them under cold water to soften their flavor and aid digestion.
3️⃣ 🌿 Prepare the fresh herbs
Wash the coriander and parsley, dry them, then roughly chop them to preserve their freshness and digestive properties.
4️⃣ 🥛🍋 Prepare the sweet sauce
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth and light sauce.
5️⃣ 🥬 Assemble the green base
Place the green sprouts in a salad bowl, add the zucchinis and white onion.
6️⃣ 🌀 Season the salad
Pour the sauce over the vegetables, add the fresh herbs, then gently mix to coat everything without crushing the ingredients.
7️⃣ ⏳ Digestive rest
Let the salad rest for 5 minutes at room temperature so the zucchinis naturally soften.
💡 Tip to facilitate the recipe
👉 Lightly salt the zucchinis and let them drain for 5 minutes before assembling if they are very firm.
🔄 Ingredient swap
👉 Plain yogurt can be replaced with plain plant-based yogurt (almond or soy) for a lactose-free version.
🔥 "Cooking" tip (no cooking)
👉 The short marination in the sauce acts as a gentle cooking process: it makes the zucchinis softer and more digestible.
