Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized Zucchinis
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • To taste Salt and Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Almonds toasted and sliced

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds using either a sharp knife or a mandolin.
  • Crush or finely mince the garlic clove.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the zucchini rounds to the bowl with the oil and cheese mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Season the salad with salt and black pepper to your liking.
  • Toast the almond slices in a dry cast-iron pan over the grill or stovetop until golden brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
  • Once the almonds are toasted, allow them to cool, then add them to the salad as a crunchy topping.
