This recipe screams "end of summer". The zucchini is lightly sautéed, and simple fresh flavours like lemon and mint round out the dish.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • ½ tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 juice and zest of lemon
  • ½ C grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ C chopped pistachios
  • 10-15 fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • After you have thinly sliced the zucchinis (hint, used a mandolin!), gently toss with salt. Place in a strainer over a bowl and let it rest for half an hour to draw out moisture.
  • Pat zucchini dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, cooking for about five minutes. Toss gently.
  • Turn off the heat, and add lemon juice, lemon zest, and the parmesan cheese. Mix to combine.
  • Place on a serving plater. Garnish with pistachios and fresh mint.
