Warm Zucchini Salad
Zucchini salad is yet another way to enjoy summertime's most pervasive bounty, the zucchini! Pair it with cheese and warm it up a little for best results.
Ingredients
- 2-3 zucchini peeled
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ a large onion or one small onion, diced small
- toasted almond slivers or slices
- Asiago cheese finely grated (or substitute any hard cheese)
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and heat until soft and fragrant.
- Toast the almond slices in a toaster oven or in the regular oven. Watch carefully, they burn quickly.
- Use a vegetable peeler to make zucchini ribbons. Use it just like you would when peeling it. Go from one end of the vegetable to the other. Stop when seeds start poking out. Set the seedy parts aside for another use.
- Add the zucchini ribbons, salt and pepper to the pot, and stir together carefully. Heat the zucchini through, but for no more than two minutes.
- Toss the toasted almond pieces in, and add cheese on top before serving, but while still warm.
- Mix it all up and dig in!
