  • Cooking Instructions 
    STEP 1
    Finely shave the zucchini with either a vegetable peeler or on a mandolin (I set the mandolin to 1/8th inch)
    STEP 2
    Gently combine the zucchini, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss lightly to combine, so the zucchini ribbons don’t break. Marinate for 10 minutes.
    STEP 3
    Place the zucchini in a bowl or plate. Twist the strands to create some circular shapes in the salad.
    STEP 4
    Toast the pine nuts over medium heat in a non-stick pan for five minutes or until the nuts are golden brown.
    STEP 5
    Top the zucchini with the toasted pine nuts, goat cheese, and microgreens.
