SERVES: 4

This salad’s so simple but it calls for very fresh zucchini.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed Flaky sea salt Freshly ground black pepper Fresh thyme leaves 4 smallish and very fresh zucchini (courgette) 1-2 zucchini flowers, optional

Method

1 Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, a few good pinches of salt, a little black pepper and a few flecks of fresh thyme in a bowl large enough to hold the zucchini.

2 Thinly slice zucchini and transfer to bowl. Toss and serve immediately. If using zucchini flowers, trim the stalk end of the flower and remove stamen (or pistils if a female flower; the yellow centre of the flower). Chop the rest of the flower and use to garnish the salad.
