If you only have access to store-bought zucchini, choose firm, unblemished fruits. - To save time, you can use a mandoline or food processor to slice the zucchini. - If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. - Adjust the amount of sugar and salt to your taste. - For a spicier salad, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. - For a more colorful salad, add some chopped red onion or bell pepper. - Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
