Shaved Zucchini Salad: How to Make this Easy Recipe

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

Are you a zucchini fan? Have you ever had it in a salad? I think most people are used to eating it sauteed, in bread or muffin, or maybe deep-fried, but its really yummy in many different ways. One of my favorite ways to use zucchini is to make zucchini pizza crust. I also love these zucchini parmesan crisps and these zucchini chaffles. As you can see from the back links, I’ve made a lot of zucchini recipes over the years. But I’ve rarely ever used zucchini raw. So, I figured it was time to try a new healthy and delicious salad recipe and that’s how this raw zucchini salad recipe came to be.

This cold zucchini salad recipe is super easy to make and really quite delicious. I don’t know about you, but I often get tired of eating the same green salad. I need to change up my greens often. Normally, I prefer to use arugula over most other greens because it adds a lot more texture and flavor than other greens. For me, romaine or iceberg are just so boring. That’s why I usually go for arugula. But, even that is starting to get boring after using it for the last couple of years. Zucchini makes a really nice change in terms of texture and taste in a salad. 


One time, I made a raw asparagus salad, and I’d say this is somewhat similar, but the texture is still different. I also love this recipe because lemon vinaigrette is my favorite. I also love the addition of pistachios in this recipe. They add a nice sweetness and crunch against the kick of the lemon and the salty parmesan cheese.

If you’ve never made a zucchini ribbon salad before, don’t be intimidated by how it looks. It’s actually so easy to make. You simply need to get a Y-shaped vegetable peeler and you can easily accomplish the pretty ribbons like I did. I actually ate all of the scrap pieces of zucchini (the green ends) with the leftover dressing. This might be my new favorite salad recipe, it’s that good. I also think I will use this dressing recipe again and again because it’s so easy and so yummy.

Shaved Zucchini Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
Salt and freshly ground pepper 
2 pounds small, firm zucchini, very thinly sliced lengthwise using a vegetable peeler or mandoline 
1/3 cup shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
3 tablespoons lightly salted roasted pistachios

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt and pepper. Set aside.

Clean your zucchinis and then create ribbons using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler. To make the ribbons, cut off the top and bottom, and peel one of the long sides to remove the green. Once you have peeled to reveal the white/green inner part the width of your peeler, then you can make the ribbons. Once you have enough ribbons, it’s time to dress your zucchini salad.

Add the zucchini to a large bowl and toss in the dressing. Add the Parmesan and the pistachios and toss again. Plate the zucchini salad and then you can add additional pistachios, pepper and parmesan, as desired.

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
