Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon, whole pieces pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup arugula
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the zucchini into wide strips with a y-shaped vegetable peeler. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle over the salt. Toss to combine. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the salt to draw out any excess liquid.
  2. Whilst the zucchini is resting, add the pine nuts to a small dry pan over a low/medium heat and toast briefly until lightly golden.
  3. Drain the liquid from the zucchini. Arrange the zucchini in a large serving dish and drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper. Toss to combine.
  4. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with the arugula and Parmesan shavings and scatter over the toasted pine nuts.
