Best Zucchini With Lemon Basil Dressing Recipes

EASY ROASTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200℃/gas mark 6/180℃ fan
• Lightly bash the garlic in your pestle and mortar (or roughly chop). Cut the zucchini into roughly 10cm batons. Add the batons to a roasting tray in a single layer and toss them with the garlic, a tablespoon of the oil and a tocuh of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes (or until lightly browned).
• Whilst the zucchini is roasting, make the dressing by adding the basil to a pestle and mortar with a pinch of salt. Grind to a paste and then muddle in the lemon zest, juice and remaining olive oil.
• When the zucchini are cooked, transfer to a serving plate and drizzle over the dressing.

ZUCCHINI NOODLE SALAD WITH LEMON-GARLIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, basil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Drizzle in olive oil and whisk until vinaigrette emulsifies; set aside.
• Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using the thin blade. The strands will be very long, so cut them into manageable lengths with kitchen shears. Place zucchini noodles in a large bowl and add cilantro.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the noodles right before serving. Toss to gently coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve immediately.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH YUMMY LEMON SALT

Steps:

• Lop off the tops and bottoms of the zucchini and quarter them lengthwise. Place in a very large resealable plastic bag (or two regular-size bags). Drizzle in the olive oil, then add 1 teaspoon salt,1 teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon zest and the lemon juice. Seal the bag and smoosh everything around a bit so that the zucchini is coated. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to marinate.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Grill the zucchini, turning, until nice and tender, being careful not to burn it, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the zucchini to a plate as it gets done.
• Pile up the rest of the lemon zest on a cutting board and sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt on top. Use a knife to chop the salt and zest together until it becomes lemon salt. Add more salt if it needs it. Sprinkle the lemon salt over the grilled zucchini.
