Zucchini, Fennel & Pistachio Salad

How many things can you possibly do with zucchini this time of year?  This is just one idea, it is crunchy, light & refreshing, and tons of crunch!

Zucchini, Fennel & Pistachio Salad

1.5 cup grated Sartori Sarvechio or Parmessan Reggiano

2 Meyer lemons, juice

1 bulb fennel, sliced thin on mandoline

4 small or 2 large zucchini or yellow squash, sliced thin

1/2 cup roasted pistachios, whole

1 teaspoon dried chili flakes

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (Olea Farms-Arbequina)

Prep fennel and zucchini by slicing them very thin then toss all ingredients in a bowl. Serve immediately.  If you want to make the salad ahead of time, prep your ingredients and add the lemon and olive oil just before serving.
