Ingredients

2 pounds small zucchini, trimmed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 oz frisée (French curly endive), trimmed and torn into small pieces (4 cups loosely packed)
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, torn in half lengthwise if large
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
12 Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
Special equipment: a Japanese Benriner* or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices with slicer and transfer to a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle zucchini with salt and toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes, then rinse under cold running water. Transfer zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and spread in 1 layer, then gently roll up towel to absorb excess water and let stand 5 minutes more.
Whisk together oil, zest, juice, mustard, anchovy paste, and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
Add zucchini, frisée, herbs, olives, and onion and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables.

This salad is so refreshing and delicious! I love the combination of the zucchini, feta, and mint. The dressing is light and flavorful, and it really brings all the flavors together. I will definitely be making this salad again.

I made this salad for a party and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I used a spiralizer to make the zucchini ribbons, and it was so easy. The salad was light and refreshing, and the dressing was the perfect complement to the zucchini.

This salad was so easy to make and so delicious! I used a mandoline to slice the zucchini into ribbons, and it worked perfectly. The dressing was light and flavorful, and the salad was a perfect side dish for my grilled chicken.
