A refreshing and simple zucchini salad with a tangy lemon vinaigrette, perfect for a light summer meal.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into long, thin ribbons.
Ensure the zucchini ribbons are of even thickness for a consistent texture.
Place the zucchini ribbons in a shallow serving dish.
Arrange the ribbons neatly for an appealing presentation.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Drizzle the dressing over the zucchini ribbons evenly.
Ensure all ribbons are coated for maximum flavor.
Let the salad marinate for 15 minutes before serving.
Marinating allows the zucchini to absorb the dressing, enhancing the flavor.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added freshness.
