Ingredients
 
 

Roasted Zucchini Avocado Salad

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 zucchini medium sized
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp dried garlic
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 6 Persian cucumbers
  • 2 avocados
  • cilantro leaves
  • 4 eggs

Poppy Seed Dressing

  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  • Cut zucchini into ⅕ inch/0,5 cm slices. Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper, sprinkle with 1 tbsp oil and half of the spices. Spread the zucchini in a single layer (you might need 2 baking sheets). Sprinkle with the remaining oil and spices. Bake for 15 minutes. Alternatively, prepare the zucchini on your stovetop. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook zucchini until golden, about 10–12 minutes.
  • In the meantime, add eggs to a pot with boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water.
  • Chop the cucumbers and slice the avocado.
  • To make the poppy seed dressing. Add the ingredients to a bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice to your own taste.
  • Divide zucchini, avocado, cucumbers and eggs among bowls, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with the poppy seed dressing and top with cilantro. Serve with some crusty bread. Enjoy!
