HOW TO PICK THE BEST ZUCCHINI?

Zucchini is the main ingredient here, so you’ll want to make sure you pick the best ones. When shopping for zucchini, try to find small (6- to 9-inches in length) and relatively thin ones. The zucchini should feel heavy for its size. The skin should look smooth, with dark green color and free of blemishes.

INGREDIENTS FOR ULTIMATE ZUCCHINI SALAD:

• 4 medium zucchini
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
• 1/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Cut the zucchini in the middle and slice into thin strips.

2. Heat up a large, non-stick griddle on medium-high heat. Fry the zucchini without any oil, for about 3 minutes on each side, until they get brown marks and soften a little.

3. Prepare the dressing by whisking the rest of the ingredients together.

4. Pour the dressing over grilled zucchini and mix well. Serve warm or cold.

I can’t wait for you to try this salad! Now’s the time to get your fresh zucchini at any farmers market. Or perhaps you have a garden and soon you’ll have your own zucchini? In any case, share your feedback and ENJOY!!!
