Ingredients:

Serving

4 zucchini, small (about 5 inches or 16 cm )
flaked sea salt
vinaigrette dressing ( home-made or shop-bought, nice quality)
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce (or to taste)
4 tbsp pine nuts ( heaped , i used a lot and didn'tsp measure)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shaved ( use any sharp
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Wash, top and tail the zucchini.
Using a potato peeler or mandoline, shave the zucchini into ribbons. Discard the outside edges and the last parts you cannot really slice properly.
Put the zucchini in a sieve or colander, spirnkle lightly with sea salt, (lifting them with your hand to distribute evenly).
Leave for 30 - 60 mins over a bowl to drain.
Be generous with the nuts! Pine nuts are great, and I used about 2 1/2 oz. or more. Heat a small pan, add the pine nuts (but you can use halved pecans, walnuts or other nuts). Let the nuts heat and colour a little, shaking the pan (they burn easily!). Then take off the heat.
Add the Tabasco to the vinaigrette, and whisk with a fork to mix. Don't use a creamy dressing, which does not suit this delicate salad.
The zucchini does not shed a lot of liquid, so after some time, put it into a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette.
Shave the parmesan in large bits. (Or use any really sharp or flavourful cheese).
Lift the zucchini from the dressing, into a shallow dish. Add the cheese to the shaved zucchini, and then sprinkle with the nuts. Sprinkle over black pepper.
Nice with grilled meats like lamb chops or sausage, or chicken.
