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!

Meet the Cook: This recipe has been passed down for generations in my family - it helps to use up the late-summer squash from the garden, and it'll keep for several days in the refrigerator. Wherever I take it, I have to take the recipe, too! Now that we're retired (we have one son), my husband and I enjoy being at home with each other, gardening...and trying out plenty of recipes. -Billie Blanton, Kingsport, Tennessee

RAW ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH MARINATED FETA AND LEMON



Raw Zucchini Salad with Marinated Feta and Lemon image

Zucchini is a summer staple that people often think needs to be cooked, but zucchini is equally delicious prepared as a raw salad. This dish quickly marinates feta cheese to give it extra flavor and depth then the reserved marinade is used to dress the zucchini. This dish screams summer and is the perfect fresh bite for any meal.
