Raw Shaved Zucchini Salad

July 19, 2015 By Liza Cannata Leave a Comment

This simple, tasty and refreshing salad is a summer must! Perfect for a light lunch or a dinner side.

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 1/2 cup shaved fresh Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 10-12 basil leaves
  • dressing : 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:

  1. Peel and cut the ends off each zucchini and place down on cutting board. Using a vegetable peeler and holding one end of the zucchini shave into large ribbons. I peel from left to right applying a light downward pressure, making sure the ribbons are pretty thin.  Place in medium bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, lightly toast the pine nuts in a cast iron skillet over medium heat, being careful not to burn. Put aside in bowl to cool.
  3. Shave the the parmesan cheese into curls using the vegetable peeler and add to bowl.
  4. Stack the basil leaves on top of each other and, using scissors, thinly cut into ribbons over bowl with zucchini.
  5. To make the dressing, mix the lemon juice, Dijon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
  6. Add pine nuts to zucchini. Pour desired amount of dressing and toss gently.  Adjust seasonings and serve room temperature.
