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.

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).
