Zucchini Salad with Sheeps Cheese, Almonds and Mint

adapted from A Salad for All Seasons* by Harry Eastwood

for 4 persons

Ingriedents:

• 4 medium zucchini (most beautiful: yellow and green ones mixed)
• juice and zest of 1 small organic lemon
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 30 g almond flakes
• 100 g mild sheeps cheese, manouri or fresh goats cheese
• 15 large mint leaves
• sea salt
• black pepper, freshly ground

Wash the zucchini and cut of the ends. Peel the zucchini lenghtwise in strips, turning the zucchini all the way and stop when you see the kernels. Discard the inner part.

Roast the almond flakes in a dry skillet at medium heat.

Spread the zucchini strips on a large platter. Tear long strips in the middle, otherwise they are too long for eating easily.

Use a jar with a lid to shake the lemon juice with the olive oil. Combine the dressing and the zucchini with you hands and season with salt and pepper (if you use quite salty cheese, skip the salt or just salt a tiny bit).

Crumble the sheeps cheese and spread over the zucchini, as well as the almond flakes.

Tear the mint leaves and sprinkle on the salad.

Serve!
