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!

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.
