To compensate the blandness of raw zucchini, we make them marinate in olive oil with lemon juice, garlic and herbs… and then we’ll mix them with dried tomatoes and goat Tomme cheese. A great simple side salad for a “grill meal”!
Ingredients list for the zucchini salad
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Mint
- Chives
- Fleur de sel
- (150g) goat Tomme cheese, a sharp white cheddar is fine too
- Some sun dried tomatoes (you can make them following this recipe)
- Pine nuts
Cooking instructions
1. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice lengthwise using a mandolin. Keep aside in a plate.
2. Wash, dry, then chop the herbs. Put them in a bowl with the lemon juice, oil, garlic, and salt.
3. Pour over the zucchini ribbons, stir well to coat them with sauce. Refrigerate for about an hour.
4. Cut dried tomatoes and chop Tomme (or cheddar).
5. Arrange the zucchini ribbons on plates, incorporate dried tomatoes, Tomme, and pine nuts. Enjoy your zucchini salad with your first outdoor grilling party of the year!
