This is such a simple salad I almost did not post it. So simple yet I never would have thought of the idea myself so I decided to share. Who knew you can eat zucchini raw? This salad is crunchy, light, refreshing and just about perfect for a hot summer night.

Ingredients: Serves Two
1 zucchini, sliced thinly (I used a vegetable peeler)
juice from 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons shredded basil
salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese optional
Method:

• Using a veggie peeler or mandolin slice the zucchini, disregarding the first and last slice (peel).
• Mix zucchini in a bowl with lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper.
• Allow to sit and marinate for about 15 minutes.
• Top with basil and cheese.
