Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (see notes)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shaved)
• 1/4 cup pine nuts (toasted)

Preparation

1. 1

   Step 1

   In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (1 tablespoon), lemon juice (2 tablespoons), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Gradually add the olive oil (2 tablespoons), whisking as you add it so it's emulsified.

   Step 2

   Cut the zucchini into "ribbons." It's easiest to use a vegetable peeler for this, but you can also use a sharp knife or a mandoline (see notes about seeds).
