Novak Djokovic’s Zucchini Lasagna

Top-rated tennis star Novak Djokovic, who famously practices a plant-based, gluten-free diet, recently opened a vegan restaurant, Eqvita, in Monte Carlo, where he and his wife live. This raw zucchini lasagna is a go-to dish at the restaurant and at home.

“I would never serve anything at the restaurant that I wouldn’t eat at home,” he says. “What I love about this dish is that it’s surprising and delicious—and healthy.”
