Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • cracked white pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Vegetable peeler

Method
 

  1. Rinse zucchini and cut off about 1/2 inch from either end. Using a vegetable peeler, peel lengthwise in strips into a bowl. Stop peeling when the seeds become visible and discard the core. Sprinkle with kosher salt and toss to coat.
  2. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and mustard to a small lidded container. Secure the lid and shake for 20 seconds. If you don't have a lidded container, whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Pour over the zucchini.
  3. Add in the parmesan cheese and toss to coat. Top with cracked white pepper to taste.
