Easy & Delicious Zuccini Salad
I love this zuccini salad! It is so fresh tasting and easy to make. I used ground caraway and less olive oil than usual.

Here's a simple and delicious zucchini salad recipe that highlights the freshness and lightness of zucchini while adding complementary flavors. This salad works well as a side dish or a light main course.

### Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly (can use a mandoline or vegetable peeler for even slices)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese (optional, for non-vegan)
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds (optional)

### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Zucchini**:
   Slice the zucchinis thinly, either using a mandoline, a vegetable peeler, or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

2. **Make the Dressing**:
   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. **Dress the Zucchini**:
   Pour the dressing over the sliced zucchini and toss gently to coat. Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. **Add the Basil and Cheese**:
   Add the torn basil leaves to the salad and toss to mix. If using Parmesan cheese, add it at this stage.

5. **Serve the Salad**:
   Transfer the zucchini salad to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds, if desired.

This easy and delicious zucchini salad is perfect for summer meals or anytime you're looking for a light and refreshing dish. It pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or other Mediterranean-inspired dishes. If you'd like more recipes or variations, I can share additional ideas. Enjoy your zucchini salad!
