Raw zucchini salad is a summer side dish that is not only super easy to prepare but also quick, fresh and light. You can prepare them in no time and on hot days everyone adores them. The very thin slices become soft thanks to the easy marinade but they remain crunchy and flavourful. These raw zucchini, thanks to the union between salt, sugar, olive oil and apple cider vinegar become almost pickled but you don’t need to prepare hot picled juice. The addition of grated lemon zest and chopped parsley leaves adds a fresh and fragrant aftertaste.
In our family we are great lovers of spicy food so for this reason I also added some chilli flakes. If you prefer more sour taste you can create your marinated zucchini ribbons with lemon juice instead of using apple cider vinegar. You can also vary the spices by adding garlic, freshly ground or pink pepper, basil, mint or chopped oregano.
It is a very easy, versatile, on budget recipe. Also it is easily adaptable to different occasions such as family parties, barbecues or picnics. It is a side dish (but also an appetizer) that goes perfectly with cheese platters, fish, meat and veg dishes.
The marinade left over the courgettes along with the chilli and lemon zest will continue to fill them with flavor with the passing hours. Then consume your zucchini within a day.
