    Zucchini Marinata (Marinated Zucchini Salad),A simple marinated zucchini salad from Italy. The zucchini is uncooked but through marinating and the use of plenty of lemon juice the zucchini acquires an “al dente”/semi-cooked texture. I only make this recipe at the peak of zucchini season in summer when quality and selection are best. From Mediterranean Light. Especially good with fresh basil!,I had giant zucchine to use and I din’t know what to do as I like to change recipe.As I found this recipe I knew that this will be great for them.I had to make a change as I was using a giant zucchini: I peele the zucchini,cut theit lenghtwise, discarded the seeds and sponge part, placed in a bowl and added 1 teaspoon salt.After 2 hours I rinced and drained it.

Peeled the zucchini and kept the salad in a big jar refrigerated — ideal for little snacks!
