Time 20m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 8 large zucchini, roughly 4 pounds
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Sea salt, preferable gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
2 lemons juiced
2 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoon freshly chopped basil leaves
6 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional
Shaved Parmesan, to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high.
  • Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Using a mandolin or vegetable peeler thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise. Toss the zucchini with 1/3 of the olive oil, gray salt and pepper, to taste. Quickly grill the zucchini ribbons on 1 side, until lightly marked and wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate or a baking dish and let cool slightly.
  • When slightly cooled toss zucchini in a bowl with the remaining ingredients except nuts, if using and Parmesan. Spread onto a serving platter, top with pine nuts, if desired and shave Parmesan over the top. Eat and enjoy.

The grilled zucchini ribbons had a nice smoky flavor, and the salad was easy to put together. I added some grilled chicken for extra protein.
