Griddled Zucchini Salad with Straciatella
Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 red chili
- 1/2 shallot
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- Handful fresh mint
- Handful fresh basil
- 4 tablespoons straciatella
- Salt
- Pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
To make the dressing, mince the garlic, then combine with finely diced chili and shallot. Add chopped mint, the zest and juice of a lemon, salt, and pepper, then slowly stream in olive oil by whisking until a creamy vinaigrette forms, around 50ml.
Slice the courgettes into rounds, season with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Heat up a griddle pan until smoking, then sear the courgettes on each side until griddled, 2-3 minutes.
To serve, place the courgettes onto a plate, then top with basil leaves, dollops of straciatella, and lashes of dressing.
