Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, shave the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Discard the seedy core or reserve for another use.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Place the shaved zucchini in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the zucchini and gently toss to coat the ribbons evenly.
Thinly shave the Asiago cheese using a vegetable peeler or a cheese planer.
Transfer the dressed zucchini ribbons to a serving platter, arranging them in loose layers for visual appeal.
Scatter the Asiago cheese shavings over the zucchini and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
