  • Slice the zucchini thinly: This will help the zucchini absorb the dressing and flavors better.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini should be cooked just until crisp-tender. Overcooked zucchini will be mushy and bland.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Zucchini salad is best served fresh. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
