500g zucchini
sea salt and pepper
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp red or white wine vinegar
¼ cup basil leaves, torn
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
2 balls (or 160g) of buffalo mozzarella, or bocconcini, torn
1 tsp lemon zest
Slice zucchini thinly and dress with salt and pepper, oil and vinegar.
Stand for 10 minutes then add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.
Check for seasoning and serve.
