¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey

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.

Time 6h40m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound medium or small zucchini, preferably a mix of green and yellow
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, mint, chives, dill or a combination

Steps:

  • Slice the squash as thinly as you can. Sprinkle with salt, preferably kosher salt, and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse and drain on paper towels.
  • Mix together the lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for four to six hours.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, and remove the garlic clove. Add the fresh herbs, and toss together. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for firm, young zucchini with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes, as they may be bitter.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help it to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. Zucchini is a delicate vegetable that can easily become overcooked. Cook it just until it is tender-crisp.
  • Use fresh, ripe melon. The melon will add sweetness and flavor to the salad. If you can't find fresh melon, you can use a good-quality store-bought melon.
  • Add your favorite herbs and spices. This salad is a great way to use up fresh herbs from your garden. Some good options include basil, mint, cilantro, and oregano.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Zucchini and melon salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and melon salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this one a try.
