Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini rinsed, ends trimmed off
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the marinade

  • 1/3 cup sunflower oil
  • 4 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed

  • 1/3 tsp red pepper flakes plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp fresh basil finely chopped

Instructions

  • Slice the zucchini really thin, about 1/16-inch thick on a mandolin or a food processor. Place them in a bowl, toss with salt and let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the marinade by mixing the sunflower oil with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Drain the zucchini. Handful by handful, gently press with your hands to remove excess liquid. Place in a bowl. Add the marinade and mix well.
