Fresh Zucchini Salad

Young Zucchini is tender and sweet.  I love to eat it grilled or sauteed slightly.  It has a mild flavor that takes on just about any other flavor, but the mini one’s aren’t always available ringtone downloaden android.  I was thrilled when I came across a two pound bag of mixed mini zucchini’s at Costco and decided to recreate a salad based on memory that we had at a recent wine dinner out bildschirmschoner windows 10 herunterladen.  I created my version out of ingredients that I had on hand.  It is very simple and quite delicious!

If you don’t have lemon and/or lime infused olive oil, I would add fresh juice and rind likeing a youtube video.  Wash and remove the ends of the zucchini and slice very thin using a mandolin.  Toast the pine nuts tossing frequently just until browned.
