Minted Courgette Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the onion and lemon juice together with some seasoning and set aside for 10 mins. When ready to serve, use a vegetable peeler to slice the courgettes into thin ribbons. Put into a bowl with the onion and lemon juice, zest, mint and oil. Carefully toss together and serve.

Steps:

• Brush the courgettes with olive oil and cook them in batches on a hot griddle or under a grill until just tender (2-3 minutes per side). Keep the cooked slices warm and covered until they are all done.
• Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a bowl and season well.
• Divide the courgette, mozzarella, pickled lemon and mint between 6 plates.
• Pour over the dressing and serve with crusty bread for mopping up the juice.

Steps:

• Cut tomato into 1/4-inch dice and transfer to a small bowl. In another small bowl whisk together lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a food processor finely chop mint and parsley. Replace chopping blade with shredding disk and shred zucchini over herbs. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Drizzle three fourths vinaigrette over zucchini and toss with salt and pepper to taste. Pour off any juices from diced tomato and toss tomato with remaining vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste. Divide zucchini salad among 4 plates, mounding it, and make an indentation in center of each mound. Fill indentations with tomatoes and garnish with mint.
