A fresh and colorful salad featuring thinly sliced Zucchiolo, juicy berries and a bright berry vinaigrette, finished with toasted seeds for the perfect crunch.
Ingredients
- 2 Yellow Zucchiolo®
- ½ cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small red or green chili pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp toasted sunflower seeds or pine nuts
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: thin strips of orange zest and sun-dried tomato
Directions
- Using a mandoline, thinly slice the green and yellow Zucchiolo®. Arrange the slices on a serving plate, creating some height and volume.
- Lightly mash half of the berries to release their juices. Combine with the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Top the Zucchiolo® with the remaining berries and thinly sliced chili pepper.
- Drizzle with the berry vinaigrette and finish with toasted sunflower seeds or pine nuts. If desired, garnish with thin strips of orange zest and sun-dried tomato.
