Narrow zucchini work best for this recipe so the peeler won't rip the edges of the ribbons. A wide peeler, such as a Y-shaped version, is ideal.
How to Make It
Step 1
Using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into very thin strips just until seeds are visible.
Step 2
Toss zucchini ribbons with shallots and next 6 ingredients. Serve immediately over arugula.
Step 3
Squash Ribbons With Feta and Mint: Substitute yellow squash for zucchini. Proceed with recipe as directed.
Step 4
Grilled Zucchini With Feta and Mint: Increase olive oil to 1/4 cup. Preheat grill to 350º to 400º (medium-high) heat. Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Brush with 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Grill zucchini, without grill lid, 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until tender. Proceed with recipe as directed in Step Prep: 20 min.; Grill: 6 min.

We really enjoyed this salad. It is a great combination of flavors and was a light dish on a hot summer night. I will prepare it again as zucchini is abundant. Dill, as suggested by another reviewer, sounds like a good addition.

We loved this recipe, it left me with an 'I want more' feeling!. I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating instead of a 5 out of 5 only because I added fresh dill which 'made the dish' according to my husband! I made no other alterations. This recipe was the perfect way to celebrate the season"s first zucchini from the garden! We served it with grilled chicken and nothing more, Fantastic!
Great summer side dish.
