The lemon juice and olive oil dressing makes this zucchini salad tastes fresh, while capers definitely add flavour and interest to this summer squash salad. Super simple and absolutely delicious!
- 2 Small zucchini, peeled into strips
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 Lemon, zested
- 1 Garlic, crushed
- Salt and pepper
- 1 Tomato, deseeded and julienne
- 1 tbsp Capers

- Toss the zucchini strips with the oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Divide between 2-3 plates and top with capers, tomato julienne. Drizzle any extra dressing over if desired. To garnish, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over.

Hey Angie, I love zucchini in a salad. I usually grate it, but this is much more beautiful. I'm going to make this today!
Growing up, I always put capers on my bagels and lox. Unfortunately, my husband isn't a big fan of them, so I rarely get to use them in dishes.
With that being said, I think that I might have to make an exception for this beautiful salad. It looks so refreshing.
Lovely looking caper salad. I love them. Beautiful!
The ribbon-like slices gracefully style the salad.
Very Gourmet! Love the presentation!
What a beautiful way to have zucchini and I love capers :)
The zucchini ribbons and julienned tomatoes are so pretty, and the dressing sounds delicious!
Simple and very pretty! A great way to use the zucchini that will be abundant here in a few months.
I really need to get that mandoline!
Your fresh zucchini salad screams warm weather and summer vegetables. Beautiful.

This is such a pretty and healthy salad! The capers would lend a really nice flavor to the zucchini.

What a beautiful salad, Angie!!! Love the presentation.
Great salad. Nice balance with the acidity.
Cheers!
Very pretty salad! I love the simple, fresh and zesty flavours. Ive got a batch of frozen yeast dough and everything I need for this salad and I'm thinking....zucchini salad for lunch and maybe, zucchini ribbon salad on pizza dough for dinner LOL With lots and lots of cheese on top, of course!!
What a lovely salad Angie! I love those zucchini ribbons. They look so elegant.
Stunning salad Angie - I love the zucchini, I actually had a 'raw' pasta dish one time years ago that used zucchini ribbons instead of pasta, I'll have to dig up the recipe, you've inspired me :)
Looks absolutely appetizing!
The zucchini ribbons are so pretty! A wonderful salad creation!

Hi, Angie!
The salad is simple and as a lover of garlic and tomatoes - sounds perfect. The marinade would definitely make a nice difference to the texture!

I really love the food presentation of this salad. The sliced zucchini is so thin and you curled it up beautifully like a ribbon. Simple awesome!
Great recipe, Angie. I'm turning this one over to my vegetarian wife for sampling... she'll love to make it!
I absolutely like zucchini presented the way you did. It is so simple, nice looking and tasty. Very good appetizer in summer time ! Take care!
zucchini ribbon is so elegant. Lovely photo!
This looks like a very refreshing salad, elegant too!
All the ingredients in this seems like they would be delicious together. I'd even be willing to try raw zucchini for it. Though I'm a mite trepidacious. I've never eaten zucchini raw before. We'll give it a go and see.
This is so gorgeous and I love the simplicity of the flavors. It really lets the natural tastes shine though. I love this.
This is an outstanding and picture perfect salad.
