  • ¼ cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
  1. To make the honey and lemon dressing, place the lemon juice, salt, pepper and honey in a bowl and whisk to combine.  
  2. Add the oil and whisk until well combined. Set aside. Blanch the beans in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 1–2 minutes or until just cooked. Refresh under cold running water and drain well.

+ To shred zucchini use a julienne peeler. This looks like a conventional vegetable peeler, but has little ‘teeth’ that help create strips of vegetables.
