Baby Marrow Snack
Crunchy raw vegetables make a perfect snack, especially when dressed lightly with quality extra virgin olive oil, cider vinegar and seasoning. An excellent substitute for the regular packet of crisps or nuts.
For this recipe I use baby marrow or courgette and leave the quantity for the dressing with you, as really its all about a generous ‘glug’ all over with the oil and vinegar, with a sprinkling of seasoning.
