Zucchini/Courgette, Mango & Lime Salad

Zucchini/Courgette & Lime Salad

Such a light & refreshing salad. Courgettes and lime are a perfect combo & with a little kick of chilli and the crunch of the red onion this makes a perfect dish.   It's such a wonderful, easy recipe to make. Just use a sharp potato peeler to make the courgette & mango ribbons. Fabulous to serve as a side dish for BBQ'd meats or fish.
