this is incredible. giada really got me to eat my vegetables! the only thing i changed was the garlic. i took 2 small cloves of garlic with a speck of salt and smashed it into a paste with a mortar then tossed i it into the hot zucchini and carrot salad and mixed it well creating a delicious and tangy flavor. the garlic flavor absorbs and amalgamates beautifully into the red wine vinegar, oil and vegetables. i find it much more tasty and delicious this way - for garlic lovers like me, i suggest doing it this way.
