MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD

Marinated Zucchini Salad image

Raw zucchini can be a dull ingredient, but when it's very thinly sliced it marinates beautifully, especially in lemon juice. I like to use a mixture of green and yellow squash here. Assemble this dish at least four hours before you wish to serve it, so that the squash has time to soften and soak up the lemony marinade.

ZUCCHINI MARINATA (MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD)

Zucchini Marinata (Marinated Zucchini Salad) image

A simple marinated zucchini salad from Italy. The zucchini is uncooked but through marinating and the use of plenty of lemon juice the zucchini acquires an "al dente"/semi-cooked texture. I only make this recipe at the peak of zucchini season in summer when quality and selection are best. From Mediterranean Light. Especially good with fresh basil!

Ingredients

3/4 c olive oil
4 zucchini, large
1 red bell pepper
4 clove garlic
3 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tsp salt, or to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

1. Thinly slice the zucchini squash crosswise, cutting on the diagonal to make larger, more oval shaped slices. Remove the stem and seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into strips. Peel and mince the garlic.
2. Place 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the zucchini and pepper slices with the garlic until softened and very lightly browned (Or brush them with the oil and garlic and cook them on the grill).
3. Place the cooked vegetables in a bowl with the oil from the skillet. Add the remaining ingredients and the rest of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Store vegetables in a glass jar or pyrex container, covered with the olive oil, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
