Light and refreshing healthy Zucchini Ribbon Salad is combined with sweetness, citrus, and crunch topped with fresh basil and cheese.

Zucchini is a favorite summer vegetable. It’s a summer squash that can be used in so many ways. I personally love it, whether in a soup, as a spread with a sprinkle of salt, roasted with parmesan cheese, sautéed, or in a salad like this one. It makes a great side dish to any kind of protein.

Long ribbons of zucchini makes a fun and delightful presentation. You may be wondering if you can eat raw zucchini, the answer is yes! Just like most vegetables, you can enjoy zucchini without cooking it.

This salad has fresh citrus juice and the perfect type of cheese: pecorino. This Italian cheese is made from sheep’s milk, giving it the crumbly texture and smokey, salty flavor that makes the perfect addition to the zucchini ribbons.

To make this recipe, you will need:

  • zucchini
  • radishes
  • olive oil
  • red wine vinegar
  • lemon juice
  • salt
  • honey
  • ground black pepper
  • basil
  • pecorino
  • almonds
