This salad takes advantage of seasonal zucchini and basil in a refreshing side dish that takes about 5 minutes to prepare!

2 medium zucchini
1 lemon
2 T Olive Oil
Parmigiano- Reggiano or Pecorino Romano
3-4 T Pine Nuts
Fresh Basil thinly sliced
Microgreens (optional)
Directions
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the zucchini into thin ribbons and put it right into the serving bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper to make a vinaigrette.
Combine the zucchini with vinaigrette and thinly sliced basil and let sit for about 5 minutes.
While it sits:
Lightly toast pine nuts until golden.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave cheese over the top
Add the pine nuts and microgreens for garnish
