Cuisine Italian
- 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
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.
