Zucchini Carpaccio Recipe

In the spirit of Buddha Bowl cooking - the ingredients are flexible. We want you to use what's in your refrigerator and pantry. This is a perfect dish to use up that last zucchini hiding in the drawer.
For best results, use a mandoline slicer or your food processor. Don't have either? Use a vegetable peeler and peel super-thin slices. You can even peel "ribbons."
Make it a bigger salad by piling on a handful of baby arugula or mixed greens.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchini
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts walnuts, pecan, pine nuts, slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup crumbled or shaved cheese feta, parmesan, goat cheese, smoked gouda
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh herb basil, tarragon, dill, oregano, mint, chives
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon
  • sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the zucchini into paper-thin slices with a mandoline slicer. Arrange the zucchini slices slightly overlapping on a large platter.
  • Nuts are best toasted, but you can skip this step if you're short on time. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the nuts, and gently toast until fragrant and lightly golden. Immediately remove from heat and sprinkle on the zucchini.
  • Sprinkle on the crumbled cheese and fresh herbs. Drizzle on the olive oil, squeeze the lemon all over and season with salt and pepper.
