I am always on the hunt for healthy recipes and new ways to use vegetables that I already like. I never really think of not cooking zucchini but this sounds good. It is the recipe of British TV chef Merrilees Parker and was first published in the August 2005 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 large zucchini, ends cut off
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of

Directions

1
Using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin, slice the zucchini into long thin ribbons and place in a shallow serving dish.
2
Whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil in a small bowl and season generously.
3
Drizzle over the zucchini ribbons and leave to marinate for 15 minutes before serving.

Gosh, I hate to do this but the recipe did not strike our fancy. I tried to perk it up with some garlic and feta, but that didn't get anyone to eat it either. I would have added some oil, but we were trying to so the "light" salad thing. I do encourage others to try it though, as it has gotten wonderful reviews from other chefs!!!!!! Thanks for posting!

In a word - fantastic! I did not think I would like this very much because I was worried it would be too lemony. Definitely not the case. I made as written but with just 3 T of oil and added some fresh thyme. Thanks for posting, this is truly tasty!

What a surprise.. I assumed that my not-so-fond-of-lemons DH would give this the thumbs down, but as I found out formyself, it's not bitter from the lemon, but nicely refreshing. I used veggie peeler too and got nice thin strips. doused it in the lemon and olive and left it in the fridge for over an hour... YUM! Guests loved it more than DH did, but he had a good go at this too, so that's wonderful news for my summer salads from now on. Please see my Rating System: 4 excellent stars for a very simple and super easy way to serve great zucchini. Thanks!

Very easy and a great use for zucchini. It just needed some perking up for me. I added some crushed garlic and oregano. After the 15 minutes of marinating, I tasted it and added some salt as well. I served it garniched with crumbled feta cheese. Thanx for a new use for zucchini!
