Zucchini season is here which is a great reason to make this perfect summer side dish. Use a mandolin or potato peeler to thinly slice the zucchini. Let the zucchini marinade in the lemon juice for at least 10 minutes before topping with arugula and shaved Parmesan. You can serve this as an appetizer, side dish or even as a light lunch.

ReplyDeleteHi Gina, I normally grill my zucchini, but this will be interesting. Love the lightness and freshness. I have some Lemon EVOO that I love and I will try that with this recipe. This looks like another recipe I will share with our WW group at work. Love the low points.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner. Thanks Gina.
Hi Gina
ReplyDeleteI have a feed burner to your site and am so glad you are now posting photos. I loved this recipe--so easy and delicious and I got in my veg! I am definitely telling my WW meeting folks about this site--I also made the cherry sorbet as pops and my husband who does not like iced desserts, loved his popsicle. I didn't strain the cherries and left them super meaty. Thank you for providing such inspiring and easy recipes!!! I hope there is a book in the works!
Thanks, I love this recipe!!
ReplyDeleteI have made this twice in a week! It is so delicious and refreshing. The zucchini are coming on like crazy in the garden, so it's nice to have good zucchini recipes!! Thank you, Gina!
