COURGETTE SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the courgettes on the coarse side of your grater.
• Toss them with the olive oil, lemon or lime juice, clear honey, poppy seeds and the crushed garlic clove. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve as soon as possible (or it will get too watery), with sizzling barbecued chicken or lamb, kebabs or burgers.

ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together zest, juice, mustard, honey, anchovy paste, sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add zucchini, frisee, herbs, olives, and onion and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

RAW ZUCCHINI SALAD

Steps:

• Slice off the ends of the zucchini. Using a mandolin or potato peeler, peel thin strips of zucchini into a bowl. Mix in the parsley. Toss with the lemon and lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.

BROAD BEAN & COURGETTE SALAD

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, whisk the white wine vinegar and olive oil together with some seasoning, then set aside. Boil a pan of water, add the broad beans and boil for 2-3 mins. Drain and plunge into iced water, then leave to cool a little before removing the skins.
• Cut the baby courgettes into 4-5 pieces on the diagonal. If you are using medium courgettes, cut into four lengthways and slice into 5mm thick pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the courgettes. Cook, stirring for 5-8 mins, until they are a light golden colour. Add the broad beans and some seasoning, and cook for another 30 secs. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinaigrette while still warm. Serve with the chopped walnuts scattered over.

MARINATED COURGETTE SALAD

Steps:

• Using a vegetable swivel peeler or mandolin, slice the courgettes into long thin ribbons and place in a shallow serving dish. Whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil in a small bowl and season generously.
• Drizzle over the courgette ribbons and leave to marinate for 15 mins before serving.

• Toss together zucchini, cheese, oil, dill, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with lemon zest.

WARM LEMONY COURGETTE SALAD

Steps:

• Use a vegetable peeler to slice the courgettes into wide strips, discarding the central, seedy part. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the lemon zest and garlic, and fry over a medium heat for 1 min. Add the courgette strips and cook, stirring regularly, for a further 1-2 mins until the courgettes are slightly softened. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss the basil through.
