What a better way to use those fresh veggies from the Farmers Market this summer. I found this in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I didn't think I'd like the raw zucchini but it was great.

ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH PECORINO, BASIL AND ALMONDS



Zucchini Salad With Pecorino, Basil and Almonds image

Many recipes call for shaving raw zucchini into long strands, which looks whimsical but often leads to soggy squash. Cutting zucchini into thicker batons helps the vegetable retain some bite. Douse the strips with a bright garlic-caper vinaigrette, tender herbs and tangy pecorino, and just before serving, toss in some chopped almonds for crunch. This zucchini salad makes a great starter or a side, but it can also be the foundation of a meal: Add it to cooked penne or pearl couscous for a quick pasta salad, or scatter it over a slice of grilled bread that's been slathered with mascarpone or ricotta.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons capers, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons caper brine
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 medium zucchini or summer squash (6 to 7 ounces each)
1/3 cup shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup roasted salted almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the oil, shallot, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
