This is such a great dish. No cooking required so ideal for a hot day. I spiralise the carrots and courgettes but you can cut them into batons if you prefer or use a vegetable peeler to make ribbons. Feel free to adapt it by replacing any of the vegetables with whatever you have in the fridge - celery, cucumber and peppers all work well. The dressing can also be tweaked to allow you to add more or less of the ingredients you prefer.
