Zucchini Salad with Pecorino, Basil and Almonds

This zucchini salad by Alexa Weibel 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.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
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 5-cm segments. Slice the segments lengthwise into 1/2-cm-thick slabs, then slice those slabs lengthwise into 1/2-cm-thick batons. Add to a large bowl.

Just before serving, season the zucchini with 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.

I've been looking for a use for the leftover pesto from my last recipe. After a bit of brainstorming, this idea for a warm pasta salad popped into my head. The dish came together in the time it took to boil pasta. And paired with a simply grilled steak, it made for a deliciously bright, summery dinner. Robert Gonzal -

Raw Zucchini Salad with Lemon and Dill Raw Zucchini Salad with Lemon and Dill
I made some chilled Chinese noodles, but I had no cucumber so I added zucchini instead. I noticed that the zucchini had a noodle-like texture. It was tasty too, so I tried making a dish in which it was the main ingredient.Slice the zucchini into vertical strips like noodles.If you leave them to soak in salt water, it will add a bit of saltiness and improve their texture. It will also rid the zucchini of its distinctive taste. Recipe by Yoikonomaki cookpad.japan -

Marinated Grilled Zucchini & Tomato Salad Marinated Grilled Zucchini & Tomato Salad
The marinated zucchini and tomato salad that I bought from the department store contained delicious chunks of fried green and yellow zucchini, fried potatoes in their skins, and cherry tomatoes with a sweet fried onion dressing. It tasted so good! But it is kind of expensive, so I tried making it at home instead.Salt the vegetables as they're cooking.You could save time by cooking the onion, zucchini and potato together in one large frying pan. 26 cm should be a good size.Please make sure to chill the salad and let the flavours combine well.If you add yellow bell peppers, the color scheme will look just right. Try adding eggplant or shimeji mushrooms too. Recipe by moj cookpad.japan -
Potato Salad With Lots of Zucchini Potato Salad With Lots of Zucchini
I came up with this recipe when I was living in Canada. The cucumbers sold there were a bit different from Japanese cucumbers, so I started adding other vegetables instead. I add a tiny bit of Canadian maple syrup as a secret ingredient.If you add a small amount of capers, the flavor will really come together. (You can omit them if you like though.) Just a little drizzle of maple syrup (or honey) also makes a difference. It has a much ricer flavor than sugar. For 4 servings. Recipe by Usshi cookpad.japan -
