Best Zucchini Salad With Pecorino Basil And Almonds Recipes
ZUCCHINI SALAD
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.

ZUCCHINI-AND-FENNEL SALAD WITH PECORINO AND MINT
In 2007, if you were looking for a sign of the culinary times, you could do no better than the one prominently displayed in San Francisco, in my local Übermarket for the conscientious shopper: "Organic Summer Squash, $3.99 a pound." Our growing food fetishization created a new produce category: luxury squash. I was disturbed but also intrigued: perhaps familiarity had blinded me to squash's delicate charms - at these prices it clearly deserved more than a typically bland sauté or a quick turn on the grill. Given its etymology (the word "squash" comes from a Native American word meaning "eaten raw"), maybe it shouldn't be cooked at all. So I swallowed hard, bought some zucchini and shaved them into a salad with fennel, mint and pecorino, which made a delicious and interesting starter.

WARM ZUCCHINI-BASIL SALAD
This is the perfect recipe if you have a lot of zucchini to use up. It is important to thinly slice the zucchini, so I use the slicer on my box grater. I sometimes fill 4 baking sheets at a time. You can eat it warm or cold. I will eat this portion all by myself.
