Italian Zucchini Salad Recipes

ITALIAN ZUCCHINI SALAD

My husband, Robert, doesn't care much for zucchini, but even he likes this salad, so it's one I make often. The dressing is generous-it can be used on other green salads and even to marinate meats for the grill. I'm always trying new recipes, and I have lots of eager tasters with three children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. I've entered recipe contests many times before, but this is the first time I've had a recipe picked. It's the nicest feeling!

MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD

Raw zucchini can be a dull ingredient, but when it's very thinly sliced it marinates beautifully, especially in lemon juice. I like to use a mixture of green and yellow squash here. Assemble this dish at least four hours before you wish to serve it, so that the squash has time to soften and soak up the lemony marinade.

ZUCCHINI MARINATA (MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD)

A simple marinated zucchini salad from Italy. The zucchini is uncooked but through marinating and the use of plenty of lemon juice the zucchini acquires an "al dente"/semi-cooked texture. I only make this recipe at the peak of zucchini season in summer when quality and selection are best. From Mediterranean Light. Especially good with fresh basil!

Zucchini Marinata (Marinated Zucchini Salad) image

Steps:

Note: It is your choice to peel or not peel the zuchhini.
Toss the thinly sliced zucchini with the lemon juice, garlic halves, olive oil; salt and pepper to taste. (If I think about it, sometimes I add a bit of finely grated lemon zest, too.) Remember to use a non-reactive bowl for marinating.
Cover bowl and refrigerate 4-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Once you are ready to serve the salad, remove the garlic cloves. Save one garlic clove, finely minced and toss back into the salad along with the fresh herb of choice. *Important*: stir in the fresh herbs with the zucchini mixture [just] before serving.
Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Best eaten within 24 hours.
