Instructions
Step 1
To prepare the salad, take a young small-sized zucchini, wash it thoroughly, dry it and, without removing the skin, cut it into small cubes.
Step 2
The lemon makes this dish more sophisticated. Use fresh lemon juice and fresh zest. Pour the prepared zucchini with juice in the amount of two tablespoons and add a teaspoon of grated zest. Stir well, adding salt to taste, and place the bowl of courgettes in the refrigerator or leave at room temperature. Incubate for 1-2 hours.
Step 3
After the indicated time, continue cooking the salad. To do this, take large tomatoes, wash them thoroughly. At the top of the fruit, make a cruciform incision in the skin and place this side down in a suitable container: a saucepan or heat-resistant bowl. Heat water to a boil and pour boiling water over the tomatoes so that they are completely covered with boiling water. After 2-3 minutes, drain the hot water and dip the tomatoes in cold water. After a minute, you can carefully remove the skin from the tomatoes. Seed tomatoes and cut into cubes.
Step 4
Finely chop the parsley, pre-scalded with boiling water. Use kitchen scissors or a glass or stone board and a ceramic knife to preserve the flavor of the greenery.
In a bowl, combine the zucchini, tomatoes, and herbs. Season the salad with vegetable oil. Salt to taste, if required.
Step 5
Now you can transfer the raw zucchini salad to the salad bowl and serve immediately.
