Zucchini Salad with Lime

Like the previous recipe this one is best made with ingredients fresh from the food garden, thrives on quantities that reflects your mood and also never fails to wow our diners.

4-5 baby zucchini
juice and zest from one lime (more if the zucchini is in their teens)
snipped fresh chives (be generous)
fresh coriander, finely chopped (just a little)
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Coarsely grate the zucchini. Toss with the lime juice and zest. Sprinkle with the herbs. Season to taste. Toss well and serve at once.

Zucchini Salad

When you have the luxury of quality ingredients fresh from the food garden it is best to do as little to them as you possibly can. This recipe takes just a few minutes to prepare and never fails to delight. I adjust the quantities of the vinaigrette and herbs to my mood but beware of overdoing them.

4-5 baby zucchini
vinaigrette (any well-seasoned vinaigrette you have on hand)
fresh chervil, finely chopped
fresh tarragon, finely chopped or fresh dill, finely chopped

Cut the zucchini (baby marrow) into fine strips (julienne). Toss with a little vinaigrette and sprinkle with the herbs. Serve at once.
