Notes

Use a vegetable peeler to shave zucchini into long, thin ribbons, or coarsely grate. Add walnuts just before serving, to give salad a nutty crunch. To transport: Carry salad and dressing separately in airtight containers. Cover and keep chilled. Place walnuts in a small, resealable food storage bag, then transport separately. Toss together just before serving.
