Ingredients
- 250 g green zucchini
- 250 g yellow zucchini (or yellow squash)
- 30 g salt
- 250 g grape tomatoes
- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked
- 1 small bunch dill, leaves picked
- 80 g roasted almonds
- 1 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 100 g Greek-style feta cheese, crumbled
For the pickled eschallots
- 100 g banana eschallots, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp black peppercorns
Serves 4-6 as a side dish.
Pickling time: overnight
Instructions
- To make the pickled eschallots, rinse the thinly sliced eschallots under cold water, then drain well. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl, then stir through the drained eschallots. Set aside and pickle overnight.
- Use a mandolin to slice the yellow and green zucchinis into 2 mm thick ribbons. Place into a large bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, halve the grape tomatoes and roughly chop the herbs and almonds.
- Place the zucchini into a colander and place under running water, rinsing most of the salt. Drain well, then pat dry with a paper towel and place into a large bowl with the olive oil, pickled eschallots, a splash of the pickling brine, tomatoes, herbs and half the almonds. Toss gently to combine, then transfer to a large serving plate. Sprinkle with the remaining almonds and the crumbled feta.
