Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds small zucchini, trimmed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 oz frisée (French curly endive), trimmed and torn into small pieces (4 cups loosely packed)
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, torn in half lengthwise if large
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
12 Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
Special equipment: a Japanese Benriner* or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with slicer and transfer to a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle zucchini with salt and toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes, then rinse under cold running water. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and spread in 1 layer, then gently roll up towel to absorb excess water and let stand 5 minutes more.
  • Whisk together oil, zest, juice, mustard, anchovy paste, and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
  • Add zucchini, frisée, herbs, olives, and onion and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • *Available at Asian markets, some cookware shops, and Uwajimaya (800-889-1928).

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish. I highly recommend it!

I made this salad with a few modifications. I used a lemon vinaigrette instead of the balsamic vinaigrette, and I added some chopped walnuts. It turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of zucchini, but this salad changed my mind. The zucchini is crisp and flavorful, and the dressing is light and tangy.
