Ingredients

400 g courgettes Washed and ends trimmed
Few leaves mint, basil or thyme Removed from stem and torn into small pieces

Lemon dressing

3 tablespoon olive oil Extra virgin
½ teaspoon lemon zest Finely grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the courgette lengthwise into ribbons. Work around the courgette until you are left with the small seedy centre which you should discard. Include the peel in the salad.
Add the dressing ingredients to a lidded jar, and shake well to mix.
Arrange the courgette ribbons in a serving bowl, and gently mix in the torn herbs. Pour over the dressing, and toss gently until thoroughly mixed.

Notes

Try to use fresh herbs, lemon juice and zest, as they are key to the flavour of the salad.
It's best to tear rather than chop soft herbs such as mint and basil as they bruise easily and will discolour.
Serve the salad immediately. If you want to prep ahead, make the courgette ribbons and store in the fridge in a sealed container lined with a paper towel. Store the dressing in the fridge and mix into the courgettes at the last minute.
