Ingredients

  • --2 large zucchini (3 medium) or summer squash or some of each for a mix of colors
  • --10 cherry tomatoes
  • --Juice from one half of a lemon
  • --1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • --2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • --Sea salt (about .5 Tbsp)
  • --Pepper to taste
  • --6 leaves basil, chopped fresh

Method

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini disguarding the skin. Then continue to peel the zucchini into long, semi-thick strips, collecting them in a bowl as you go. (The strips should end up looking like fetuccini or linguini)
  • Salt the "fetuccini" strips with sea salt (about .5 Tbsp), toss it to coat evenly with the salt, and alow the zucchini to sit for 1 hour until some of the water has drained. Then strain the zuchini, pat with a paper towel, and place in the bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice and white wine vinegar, pepper, and cherry tomatoes (chopped into halves). Refrigerate until ready to serve. Right before serving, add 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil (use the good stuff, it is worth it!) and 6 medium basil leaves roughly chopped, and toss before serving.
  • Should be served chilled.
