If your shaved zucchini is a little damp or wet, simply pat down gently with some paper towels.
Prep Time10 minutes

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Vegetarian
Servings: 3 -4
Author: Hip Foodie Mom via Sarah Copeland

Ingredients

  • 1-2 large firm zucchini
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon no more than 2-3 tablespoons; be careful here because you don't want too much juice
  • 3 tablespoons best-quality extra-virgin olive oil
  • Fleur de sel sel gris or sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sheep’s milk ricotta or ricotta
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts broken in pieces
  • Lemon zest for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel your zucchini lengthwise into long, thin strips. Toss them in a medium bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and dollop the ricotta over the top. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

    What a wonderful giveaway. I’m all about dessert and the Walnut and Brown Butter Tart with Sour Whipped Cream recipe by Chef Alex Stratta really caught my eyes. Can’t wait to make this soon. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. 🙂 Would love to cook along with this book.

    I am split between two right now. Mike Isabella’s eggplant and walnut pies with shaved onion mascarpone or Alex Stratta’s goat cheese and fig walnut crepes. Both sound amazing I am going to have to make both (going to have to get some marsala wine)!

    I am from a walnut farming family. Your recipe with shaved zucchini & walnuts caught my eye. I will try it. I also liked HIP FOODIE MOM & California Walnuts on Facebook. I would love to try more of your recipes. they look appealing, sound delicious & are health conscious as well.

    Hi Alice! This is a fabulous giveaway first of all! I LOVE cooking with my fiance, we have lots of fun making meals together 🙂 I have entered all 7 different ways, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram for both you (Hip Foodie Mom) and California Walnuts. And I have to say, the recipe that stood out to me and sounded yummy, would be the Walnut-Maple Graham Crackers! They would be fantastic on their own, but they would also be a great addition to to other recipes too! Thanks so much to both you and California Walnuts for creating such an awesome giveaway, Sarah’s new cookbook looks incredible!

    One of the loveliest salads by far! I love a raw zuchini salad and often enjoy some with a little lemon, Parmesan and spaghetti tossed together. Makes for a delicious combo.

    I do love walnuts and I’ve recently seen them at the asian grocers by the bag so thinking I’ll have to take full advantage of this & soon!

    Definitely a tie between Aida Mollenkamp’s Walnut-Cacao Nib Rochers and Chef Mike Isabella’s Rolled Baklava! Yum!!
