Quick to prepare, pretty and fresh, this salad is an excellent alternative to a basic green salad. Make sure you use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to make the thin zucchini (courgette) ribbons; they look much more impressive! And serve immediately to avoid the zucchini getting too watery.

Cornersmith's tips

For a heartier version, add toasted nuts like almonds or pistachios, or toasted pepita or sunflower seeds. Some crumbled fetta or dollops of goats cheese or ricotta would add a nice creaminess.

I've made this a couple of times in as many weeks. It's easy to put together at the tail end of a big cook to offset some big flavours, or lovely with Grilled Halloumi as suggested above. I wouldn't normally embrace a currant or a raisin etc in salad but this is so right! I will happily make this any time I have a zucchini or two on hand. It's a winner.
