4 servings
- 4 medium zucchini (about 2 lb total)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt, divided
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Spiralize the zucchini into long noodles using a spiralizer, or draw a vegetable peeler lengthwise along each zucchini to create wide ribbons. Spread the noodles on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of the salt, and let sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry — the noodles should feel noticeably less wet.

Whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, turmeric, ground ginger, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl until the honey dissolves. Set aside.
