The specificity of this salad is that the zucchini are raw, they do not need to be cooked but after marinating and in combination with the other vegetables they have a very good taste. The initiated husband was skeptical, but after the tasting he couldn't stop.

The salad is very refreshing, tasty and goes well in any season besides a garnish of meat, potatoes, rice, etc.
