Ingredients

2 small firm zucchini, each about 5 ounces
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups tomatoes, diced (3/4 inch)
2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, diced (1/2 inch), preferably buffalo mozzarella
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Using a vegetable peeler, cut down the length of each zucchini to remove long, thin strips. Stop when you reach the seeds in the center, pivot the zucchini, and repeat on the other three sides. Discard the seedy centers and put the zucchini strips in a non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, mix well, and set aside until serving time. In another bowl, mix together the tomatoes, mozzarella, cilantro, lemon juice, oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper. At serving time, arrange the zucchini strips on four plates to create a border around the edge. Spoon some of the tomato salad into the center of each plate and serve immediately.
