Turn fresh baby zucchini into a delicious salad with just a few ingredients.
Mix together the lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Place the sliced zucchini in a bowl and toss with the dressing. Arrange the zucchini on 4 individual plates or one large platter and drizzle on any remaining dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Garnish with the parsley leaves and serve immediately.
Note: a mandoline slicer is a great tool to have for dishes such as this one, but a very sharp chef’s knife will work just fine. Do not marinate the zucchini longer than 30 minutes before serving as they will not retain their crispness after that point. Shaved Parmesan or Pecorino cheese can also be tossed on top of the prepared zucchini before serving if desired. You can also replace the zucchini with fresh, cleaned artichokes or fresh mushrooms and create an entirely new salad.

Made this last night and it was a huge hit! Super easy side dish to make and perfect for a hot summer day. We loved the light lemon flavor. Next time I might finely chop up some mint to mix in with it. Thanks for sharing another fabulous recipe.
