A not so traditional carpaccio, this light Zucchini Carpaccio Salad makes for a perfect side dish to any meal!
I get it, I really do. You say this isn’t carpaccio. Believe me before I made this I didn’t even know what carpaccio was. I have definitely eaten it lots of time while in Italy but didn’t know that name.
So I did some research to see what carpaccio was and it is thinly sliced meat with a vinaigrette type dressing on it. AND apparently making it with zucchini in a salad is a thing, which I didn’t even know!
This week for Sunday Supper hosted by Christie from A Kitchen Hoorโs Adventures had a theme of Healthy Green Recipes! To get you in the mood for St. Patrick’s Day! So this is my spin on the Zucchini Carpaccio Salad and I hope you ENJOY!

What a clever idea as I love salad and zucchini! I’ll have to remember this one in the summer when we are overwhelmed with zucchini from the garden. It looks delicious!

Keeping this one on the shelf to help use up some of the over abundance of zucchini we always have in the summer.
