Zucchini Ribbons with Lemon & Mint image

I was introduced to this fresh-tasting and unusual salad by my long-time friend and food lover, Jamie Dunham. I loved the combination of mint and lemon, with the texture of thinly sliced raw zucchini. So simple and a fun change of pace for a summer salad!

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium zucchini
1 clove(s) garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup(s) mint, fresh
4 tablespoon(s) lemon juice, fresh
1/2 cup(s) olive oil, extra virgin
- salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut off ends of the zucchini but leave the skin on. Slice the zucchini very thinly length-wise, or use a peeler. You should be able to see the green skin on the edges.
  • Arrange the zucchini on a small platter. Process the garlic, mint, and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Add the olive oil in a stream to make an emulsified dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour dressing over the zucchini and toss gently.
