Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (see notes)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shaved)
1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted)

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).

Grilled Zucchini Salad with Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette and Shaved Romano and Toasted Pine Nuts image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into thin strips
Canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Honey
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus leaves for garnish
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Wedge Pecorino Romano, for shaving
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Fresh mint leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to high heat. Brush the zucchini on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for just about 1 minute per side (until slightly charred and wilted), then remove them to a platter.
  • Whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, to taste, and salt and pepper, to taste, and parsley in a small bowl. Slowly, whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • Drizzle the vinaigrette over the zucchini and let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. Top with shaved cheese, pine nuts, parsley and mint leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is soft or has blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shave the zucchini: This will help you achieve thin, even slices.
  • Marinate the zucchini for at least 30 minutes: This will help to soften the zucchini and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Toast the pine nuts before using them: This will bring out their nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The flavor of the Parmesan cheese will really shine through in this salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Shaved zucchini salad with Parmesan and pine nuts is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its crunchy zucchini, salty Parmesan cheese, and nutty pine nuts, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
