MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD



Marinated Zucchini Salad image

Raw zucchini can be a dull ingredient, but when it's very thinly sliced it marinates beautifully, especially in lemon juice. I like to use a mixture of green and yellow squash here. Assemble this dish at least four hours before you wish to serve it, so that the squash has time to soften and soak up the lemony marinade.

1 pound medium or small zucchini, preferably a mix of green and yellow
Salt to taste

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
