This is a crunchy seedy salad with a refreshing lemon and coriander dressing.
The use of a spiralizer (instead of using a grater) creates a more of a crunch for the courgette and the carrot. If the courgettes and carrots aren’t big enough then use a julienne peeler rather than a grater.
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan, just to brown them. Remove from the heat to cool.
Spiralize the 2 courgettes and the 2 carrots. if the spirals are too long cut them into short lengths (its not a noodle salad ?)
Add the cut spirals of courgette and carrot into a salad bowl.
Put in the poppy seeds and the toasted pumpkin seeds.
Add the chopped coriander.
Pour over the Olive oil and the juice of lemon.
Mix throughly and serve.
