Raw zucchini doesn’t have a ton of flavor, but its texture is really delicate, so it’s perfect for this salad.

Yield: Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

2 zucchini, rinsed and ends trimmed
4 ounces smoked salmon
1 bunch radishes, rinsed, tops and tails trimmed, and sliced as thinly as possible
Small handful dill fronds

for the dressing:

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1 small shallot, minced
2 teaspoons honey
15 to 20 grinds fresh black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped dill fronds

Directions

Use a peeler to shave the zucchini lengthwise on each side until you start to hit the seedy middle part.

Lay a couple of pieces of smoked salmon in the middle of a plate. Top the salmon layer with a heap of shaved zucchini, radish slices, and dill fronds.

Whisk the dressing ingredients together until smooth. Drizzle the dressing over the top of each salad.
