A refreshing and flavorful salad featuring marinated zucchini with a zesty lemon and herb dressing.
Thinly slice the zucchini into rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform slices for better presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before adding it to the zucchini.
Pour the dressing over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all zucchini slices are well coated for maximum flavor absorption.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir the zucchini occasionally to ensure even marination.
Before serving, toss the marinated zucchini with the chopped basil and parsley.
Add the herbs just before serving to maintain their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Serve the salad in a serving dish and enjoy.
Garnish with a lemon wedge for an extra touch of freshness.
