This is a recipe I found in Epicurious. It’s slightly different there; I tried theirs first, then I used my judgement to make adjustments I thought were necessary. There doesn’t seem to be much so special about this salad, except that it’s easy to make, very tasty, and a great salad on these warm summer days.
Ingredients:
2 medium sliced zucchini
2 large tomatoes, cut in 8 pieces
1 thinly sliced (or chopped) large white onion
1 small clove garlic
1 tablespoon dried, crumbled basil
1 tablespoon dried, crumbled oregano
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar – 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar instead also works
Salt an pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
How to make it:
Saute the zucchini slices in olive oil for 3 minutes, on low heat, stirring occasionally.
Mince the garlic with the salt and pepper. Mix the dried herbs, salt, pepper and garlic with the vinegar – or balsamic vinegar –; that’s your dressing. Pour a little of it (about 1/4) on the bottom of the platter. Place the zucchini, tomatoes and onion on top of it. Use the rest of the dressing on top of your salad. Ready to serve.
