This hearty Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Mustard Dill Dressing makes a delicious and stunning party dish. The main ingredients as well as the dressing can be prepared ahead, so this salad takes just minutes to put together.
To me the combination of mustard and dill is timeless. You can enjoy it with a wide range of dishes, whether fish (especially salmon) or vegetarian. My Zucchini Ribbon Salad with Mustard Dill Dressing uses this classic flavour combination to create a hearty, satisfying vegetarian lunch. It’s also ideal for entertaining!
Easy prep tips
If you boil the potatoes and eggs in advance (you can keep them in the fridge until you are ready to make the salad) this spiralized zucchini salad becomes a fabulously quick and easy meal.
The dressing takes seconds to make and can also be prepared in advance. (See Instructions)
The only ingredients that require chopping are the radishes and the dill. I have used a spiralizer to make the zucchini ribbons but you can simply slice the zucchini lengthways very thinly, either using a grater or vegetable peeler. The shape isn’t as important as the fact that the strips should be very thin (to add volume and create a light ‘bouncy’ effect).
Spiralized zucchini ribbons make a gorgeous salad ingredient, one I’ve also used in this beetroot zucchini apple ribbon salad with maple pecans.
Assembling the salad
If you’ve boiled the potatoes and eggs as well as prepared the easy mustard dill dressing assembling this zucchini salad takes minutes. Make the zucchini ribbons and place on a large plate. Place the potatoes and egg halves on top and decorate with the radish sticks and capers. Then simply drizzle a desired amount of the dressing over the whole thing and serve!
Easy mustard dill dressing
The proportions used in this potato egg salad recipe make a generous amount of the dressing (so you can use a little or a lot). Any leftovers can be stored in a jar and refrigerated (for a few days) to use later. This dressing goes extremely well with either smoked or cooked (baked) salmon, fish dishes in general, drizzled over salads or roasted vegetables, but also with chicken or pork dishes.
*NOTE: I used extra virgin cold pressed rapeseed oil to make the dressing. This oil has a vibrant yellow colour (hence the intense yellow colour of the dressing). If you use a different oil your dressing may look slightly different too.

Nice
This is a beautiful take on potato salad! It is like old-fashioned potato salad meets up for proper tea time in the garden.
Thanks! Why didn’t I think of putting a nice write up like this in my meta description?
Made potato salad last night. But your dressing sounds a lot more interesting than mine.
Thanks! There are so many possibilities when it comes to potato salad, I am sure your dressing was delicious:)
That is one stunning potato salad! I like you love fresh dill in my potato salad. It makes such a difference to the flavour. Thanks for submitting it to Meat Free Monday. The roundup is now live and your recipe has been featured.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you are a fan of dill, like me. I’ve linked up my new vegetarian meal recipe. Hope you like it:)
What a delicious salad and dressing Monika. Potatoes and egg are my favourite things to have in a salad, I love the addition of courgette ribbons and capers. A perfect lunch idea – thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday x
Thanks Sarah! Glad to know you liked my hearty salad recipe, always happy to share with FF:)
I have to say that I’ve never tried this type of dressing – but it looks gorgeous monika and so easy to make. I’m loving the colour of it too with those flecks of dill.

You have been spiralizing again:) The courgette looks so pretty in fact the whole salad look just delish!
Thanks Jacqui! Yes I have been spiralizing again! I am in a spirilizing mode, I keep trying to spiralize all vegetables (turns out it doesn’t always work). I was actually quite surprised to find ready spiralized vegetables in Aldi the other day!
This looks like the perfect potato salad! That dressing looks delicious 🙂
