Best 7 Ribboned Zucchini Salad Recipes

ZUCCHINI RIBBON SALAD WITH WITH LEMON, PARMESAN, AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (1 tablespoon), lemon juice (2 tablespoons), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Gradually add the olive oil (2 tablespoons), whisking as you add it so it's emulsified.
• Cut the zucchini into "ribbons." It's easiest to use a vegetable peeler for this, but you can also use a sharp knife or a mandoline (see notes about seeds).
• Add the zucchini ribbons to the dressing and toss well to coat.
• Transfer the zucchini ribbons to a platter and sprinkle with shaved parmesan cheese (I used a vegetable peeler for this task, too) and toasted pine nuts (see notes).
