WARM ZUCCHINI-BASIL SALAD
This is the perfect recipe if you have a lot of zucchini to use up. It is important to thinly slice the zucchini, so I use the slicer on my box grater. I sometimes fill 4 baking sheets at a time. You can eat it warm or cold. I will eat this portion all by myself.

WARM ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO SALAD
I made this for lunch one day when there wasn't much in the fridge to eat, just a zucchini, a tomato, shredded cheese, and some old stuff in the cupboard. Came out pretty tasty. It was quick to make and didn't mess up the kitchen much, so I thought it was worth writing down and sharing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 Farenheit, and get a glass pie dish.
- Slice zucchini lengthwise into ½ inch strips.
- Lay zucchini strips on bottom of pie plate to roughly cover the bottom. Small spaces are ok.
- Sprinkle ~1/3 to 1/2 cup of the croutons (I really just eyeballed it - a couple of handfuls).
- Slice the stem end of the tomato off, then slice the rest of the tomato into six ½ inch slices. Arrange the largest 5 slices around the edge, and put the smallest slice in the center.
- Sprinkle another layer of croutons, 1/3-1/2 cup or so.
- Drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil all around (again I just eyeballed it).
- Grind pepper over the top so the whole top is dusted lightly (~1/4 to 1/2 tsp worth, or to your liking).
- Sprinkle sea salt all around (again 1/4 to ½ tsp or to your liking).
- Cover with layer of whatever shredded cheeses you have.
- Bake in 450 F oven for about 11 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake until the cheese looks browned and sort of crispy ~3-5 minutes (or whenever it looks good to you - my croutons got pretty brown).
- Remove from oven. Slice, like a pie, between each tomato slices (i.e. into fifths).
- Remove piece with spatula, to plate or bowl and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette to your taste.
