Ingredients
- Serves 4
- 8 small very fresh zucchini -if you have any flowers, save these for when you plate up (Kakanui Produce)
- A couple of glugs of your favourite olive oil (Dunford Grove)

Simple Raw Zucchini Salad
Method
- On a mandolin, slice the zucchini into thin strips
- In a non-reactive bowl, toss the zucchini strips with the olive oil, juice and a pinch of salt (add the peas and beans if you are using)
- Taste as you go to get the right balance of sour and salty
- Add a few picked thyme leaves
- Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes
- The zucchini will wilt a little and take on the flavours of the oil, lemon and salt
- Split the dressed zucchini between the four plates and sprinkle with parmesan and/or the feta if using
- If you have any flowers, roughly chop them and scatter over the top
