Test Kitchen Notes
The zucchini salad was great! The dressing was well balanced - I used one large lemon, which gave the salad a great tart flavor. The parmesan was a great addition and I think it would be good any temperature too. —hellskitchenspice

Ingredients
- Zucchini Salad
-
2
zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick lengthwise

1/4 cup
fresh parsley leaves

2
scallions, thinly sliced
-
1
small block of parmesan cheese
-
Canola oil

1
lemon, juiced
-
1/4 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/2 tablespoon
Dijon mustard

Directions
-
Preheat a grill to high.
-
Make the dressing. Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until combined. Set aside.
-
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook on the hot grill for about 3 minutes per side, or until tender but not mushy.
-
Arrange the grilled zucchini on a platter and sprinkle with the parsley and scallions. Drizzle the dressing on top -- you might not need the whole amount, so go gradually. Use a vegetable peeler to make large shavings of the parmesan on top of the salad.
