Summer Zucchini Salad

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 6 medium zucchini and/or summer squash cut into bite sized pieces
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil divided
  • 2 Tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated, divided
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 Tbsp fresh basil chopped

Instructions

  • Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in your minced garlic and cook for no longer than 1 minute, or until just fragrant. Add in the zucchini and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or just until crisp-tender. Set aside to cool for a bit.
  • In a large bowl, add the remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, basil, and ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Whisk to combine well, then add in the cherry tomatoes and zucchini. Toss gently to coat all the veggies with your dressing.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
  • Sprinkle your marinated zucchini salad with the remaining Parmesan cheese, and maybe a few more fresh herbs and enjoy!
