quantities for different serving sizes
This easily increases or decreases without any problems.
prepare ahead?
No problems. I actually like it better when the zucchini has had a chance to marinate in the dressing for 30 minutes or so.
variations for dietary requirements & fun
carnivore – Lovely with some finely sliced proscuitto draped over the top.
fun – play around with the herbs. Mint and basil or chives are all good.
asian-inspired – replace the parsley with coriander leaves (cilantro) and the lemon juice with lime juice.
troubleshooting guide
too bland – Season with salt & pepper and more lemon juice.
difficult to eat – the zucchini needs to be really fine for this salad to work. Next time try shaving even finer ribbons Or chop the zucchini into very fine rounds.
too dry – if your zucchini are too large, you’ll need more dressing. Either mix up a little batch of lemon juice and olive oil on the side or just drizzle over a little of each.
serving suggestions
Serve as a side salad to baked tofu or a roast chook or even bangers and mash.
Or turn it into a main course with some roasted nuts, boiled eggs, proscuitto or a few handfuls of cooked lentils.
leftover potential
Excellent! Will keep in the fridge for a week or so.
