- Using a vegetable peeler, shave zucchini, cucumber and carrot lengthwise into very thin strips., Finely grate enough zest from oranges to measure 2 tablespoons.

Add vegetable ribbons; gently toss to combine. In a small bowl, combine vinaigrette ingredients. Add reserved orange zest and juice; whisk until blended.
