ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH PECORINO, BASIL AND ALMONDS



Zucchini Salad With Pecorino, Basil and Almonds image

Many recipes call for shaving raw zucchini into long strands, which looks whimsical but often leads to soggy squash. Cutting zucchini into thicker batons helps the vegetable retain some bite. Douse the strips with a bright garlic-caper vinaigrette, tender herbs and tangy pecorino, and just before serving, toss in some chopped almonds for crunch. This zucchini salad makes a great starter or a side, but it can also be the foundation of a meal: Add it to cooked penne or pearl couscous for a quick pasta salad, or scatter it over a slice of grilled bread that's been slathered with mascarpone or ricotta.

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons capers, chopped, plus 2 teaspoons caper brine
1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 medium zucchini or summer squash (6 to 7 ounces each)
1/3 cup shaved Pecorino-Romano cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup roasted salted almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the oil, shallot, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut each squash into 2-inch segments. Slice the segments lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slabs, then slice those slabs lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick batons. Add to a large bowl.
  • Just before serving, season the zucchini with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Stir in the cheese, herbs and dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI CUCUMBER SALAD



Zucchini Cucumber Salad image

This raw zucchini cucumber salad with a lemon basil vinaigrette is a fun and healthy way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.

Provided by Liz DellaCroce

Categories     Salad

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium zucchini
1 medium cucumber
2 cups arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
1 juice of lemon
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh basil (minced)
1 teaspoon dijon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In the bottom of a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon basil vinaigrette: lemon juice through pepper.
  • Trim both ends of the zucchini and use a vegetable peeler to create long, wide ribbons. I find that it's easiest to place the zucchini flat on a cutting board and peel the vegetable horizontally.
  • Repeat the same process with a cucumber and place both the zucchini and cucumber ribbons in the bowl on top of the vinaigrette.
  • Add arugula and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss well until vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add half the zucchini and sauté, flipping and turning every few minutes, until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Don’t salt them yet!
  • While your zucchini cooks, chop together the garlic, mint, basil, and capers so that they intermingle and turn into a sort of knife pesto. When the zucchini is golden, remove it from the pan and cook the remaining zucchini in another tablespoon of oil, just as you did the first batch. Note: I’ve cut back the oil here, but if you feel you need a splash more while you are sautéing, go for it. Then add the first batch back into the pan, along with the herb-garlic mixture and the vinegar, to taste. Taste for salt; add a good pinch, plus a few cracks of pepper. Toss well. Add nuts. Scoop everything out onto a serving plate. Right before serving, sprinkle on extra herbs if using.

  • Cut the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan and cook the zucchini, in batches, until golden on each side and tender throughout. Season the zucchini with salt and pepper. Transfer the zucchini to a broad, shallow serving bowl and cook the next batch, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.
  • When you have a layer of zucchini in the bowl, layer some ricotta, pecorino, and herbs on top, then add a good squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Continue like this until you’ve layered all the zucchini and finish with some herbs and shavings of pecorino and drizzle with a bit of extra- virgin olive oil. Serve while still warm or at room temperature.
