Zucchine a fiammifero (matchstick zucchini salad)

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 smalls Zucchini, lightly steamed
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 large Garlic clove, minced
1½ tablespoon Rosemary, minced
1½ tablespoon Sage leaves, minced
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
¼ cup Olive oil
1 teaspoon Salt
Black pepper

Directions

Let the steamed zucchini cool. Warm 1 tb olive oil in a small saute pan over very low heat & add the garlic. Let it sweat so that the flavour infuses the oil. Add the rosemary & sage & let them wilt in the oil for a minute or so.

Cut the cooled zucchini into strips the size of kitchen matchsticks & place them in the salad bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, ¼ c olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic-herb infused oil. Toss carefully, being extremely careful not damage the fragile zucchini pieces. Serve at room temperature.
