Shave the raw zucchini thin with a mandolin or even a potato peeler, season with salt and drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Let the zucchini marinade in the lemon juice for at least 10 minutes before topping with arugula and fresh shaved Parmesan.
Although the ingredients are simple, it’s really quite delicious. Use good quality extra virgin olive oil and Parmesan cheese for the best results.
