This vibrant, no-cook salad is the kind of dish that looks like it came from a fancy restaurant but comes together in your own kitchen with almost zero effort. Spiralized zucchini takes the place of grain-based noodles, giving you a light, refreshing base that soaks up the golden apple cider vinaigrette beautifully. The dressing itself is a simple shake-together situation — olive oil, honey, turmeric, ginger, and garlic — with warm, earthy notes that play perfectly against the peppery arugula and sweet, jammy figs. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of seeds, so there's no label-reading anxiety or ingredient swapping required. The salting-and-draining step for the zucchini is a small but important move that keeps the whole salad from turning watery, ensuring the dressing clings to every ribbon. Torn basil and optional fresh mint round things out with a bright, herby finish that makes this feel genuinely special. It's the kind of salad you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.

Spiralize the zucchini into long noodles using a spiralizer, or draw a vegetable peeler lengthwise along each zucchini to create wide ribbons. Place the noodles in a colander set over the sink, toss with 1/2 tsp salt, and let stand for 10 minutes until the noodles have released some moisture and softened slightly.
While the zucchini drains, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, turmeric, ginger, garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is uniform in color.
