ZUCCHINI SALAD



Zucchini Salad image

This exquisitely simple recipe from Jacques Pépin first appeared in The Times in 1991, and couldn't be easier. The zucchini is gently roasted until tender, then tossed with salt, pepper, white wine vinegar and oil. It's the perfect treatment for almost any summer squash.

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.
