This shaved zucchini salad includes plenty of mint and lemon, along with a drizzle of olive oil. The simplest ingredients brighten up the simplest of salads. This is a fantastic dish to put together quickly for your next party or picnic.

4 small or 3 medium zucchinis
3 to 4 sprigs of mint
1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste

Clean zucchinis and pat them dry. Trim and slice thinly and evenly as possible (a mandoline is handy here, but a sharp knife and a steady hand work just as well). Layer zucchini slices onto a serving platter.
Take mint leaves off their stems and stack in a layer. Roll the leaves lengthwise into a cigarette shape and cut into thin ribbons. Set aside.
Use a microplate or zester to zest the lemon over the zucchini. Once you have most of the zest, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the zucchini.
Drizzle zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to taste. Top the entire salad with the mint.
