A very healthy, simple salad that works well next to a filet of steak or grilled tuna melt. Amount of vinegar and oil may be adjusted to taste. Ingredients:
1 zucchini, sliced into rounds |
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 twist lemon peel for garnish |
Directions:
1. Place the zucchini slices into a steamer basket and set over one inch of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and steam for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the steamer and cool slightly.
2. In a salad bowl, combine the zucchini and cucumber slices. In a separate bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the zucchini and cucumber. Toss to coat, then garnish with lemon peel.
