Spicy Courgette Salad

We love going to Korean BBQ restaurants, it’s a great way to get in plenty of satiating proteins and gut healthy fermented veggies without the need to order grains.

A side dish that I absolutely love, is a spicy courgette salad. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the grilled meats. It provides a refreshing yet slightly nutty flavour with a decent kick, when I start, I just cannot get enough.
