Best Zucchini Salad With Herbs And Red Onion Recipes
ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH RED ONION
Raw zucchini, sliced into ribbons with a peeler, is mild-tasting; a short soak in vinegar and oil mellows and softens the onion but leaves enough bite to keep it interesting.

ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH HERBS AND RED ONION
A lovely salad with thin slices of zucchini, red onion, fresh mint, and basil. Use a spiralizer or potato peeler to slice the zucchini as thinly as possible. I like to blanch the red onion but it's not completely necessary.

ZUCCHINI SALAD WITH POTATOES, BOILED EGGS, AND RED ONION
Poached zucchini, cut into rounds or cubes, is a terrific salad ingredient. This salad is a lovely combination of tastes and colors, but you can follow the same basic approach without the potatoes, without the eggs, or even without the onions. If you are preparing zucchini and potatoes for salad, it's easy to cook them in one pot of water. Start boiling them together and remove the zucchini when they are "droopy," as described in the main recipe. Usually the potatoes will need to cook a bit longer, until they are easily pierced with a fork or sharp knife. Let everything cool, then toss your salad and dress it just before serving.

Steps:
- Put the whole, unpeeled potatoes in a pot of boiling unsalted water to cover. Bring to a boil, cooking steadily-but not violently-for 20-25 minutes. Test for doneness-the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork. Don't let them crack or get mushy on the outside.
- When they are just cooked through, remove them, sprinkle the 1/4 teaspoon salt over them, and let cool.
- If you are using uncooked zucchini, cook them along with the potatoes, removing them after 20 minutes.
- Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut them crosswise into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. (If the squash are "fat," first slice them lengthwise to form half-round or quarter-round pieces.) Peel the potatoes and cut roughly into 1-inch chunks, about the size of the zucchini pieces. Peel the eggs and cut into wedges.
- To finish the salad, toss the squash and potato pieces together in a bowl, scatter the egg wedges and onion slices on top, and toss lightly. Drizzle over all the olive oil and the vinegar, sprinkle on the salt and grinds of pepper, and toss thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
- Serve right away.
- Zucchini are most flavorful and appealing when they are young and firm. For all the dishes in this chapter, choose unblemished squash, about 6 inches long and no fatter than 2 inches in diameter. Three zucchini of this ideal size weigh about 1 pound.
