Did you know that you can eat courgettes (zucchinis) without cooking them?

They are yummy and refreshing - perfect for summertime.

If you’ve tried courgette spaghetti and you wondered how else can you eat raw courgettes, try the Italian-inspired recipe below!

Instructions:

1. Slice the courgettes with a mandolin or vegetable peeler.

2. Add all the ingredients into a large food container.

3. Cover the food container with a lid and in the words of Taylor Swift: shake, shake, shake it off.

4. Put the container in the fridge for about 30min. You can eat the appetizer straight away, but it tastes better is if stays in the fridge for at least 30min. I sometimes leave it there for a couple of hours. It tastes divine the second day.

• 3 courgettes

• 3 cloves of garlic
