With the combination of zucchini, cucumber, tomato, and onion, this dish gives us essential nutrients such as vitamin A, magnesium, folate, potassium, Omega-3, vitamin K, and vitamin C (to name a few). 

Zucchini carpaccio is great as a whole meal or side dish because they are: 

• Highly nutritious.
• Easy to make.
• A real crowd pleaser - impress your family and friends!

I would not recommend storing these if they are not eaten. The meal will go soggy and simply not taste very good at all. However, there probably won't be leftovers, so don't worry! This recipe will make a serving for 3 people. If you don't wish to make as many servings, simply half the ingredients or divide it by three (to give you one serving).
