Courgette Carpaccio Salad

This elegant courgette carpaccio salad is a vibrant celebration of simple, high-quality ingredients.

As a versatile vegetarian starter or a light side dish, this recipe is ideal for alfresco dining or as a healthy accompaniment to grilled proteins. It is naturally low in carbohydrates and packed with nutrients, making it a wonderful option for those seeking a wholesome yet indulgent-tasting salad. Serve it immediately with a squeeze of lemon for an extra citrus lift.

How to make Courgette Carpaccio Salad

Cut courgette crosswise into paper-thin slices with slicer.

Toss courgette slices with 1 teaspoon salt in a large colander set over a bowl and let drain 20 minutes.

Rinse courgette slices well, then drain, pressing gently on slices to extract any excess liquid. Pat courgette slices dry with a kitchen towel.

Put rocket greens in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 60ml Parmigiano-Reggiano and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil over greens and toss.

Arrange courgette slices over rocket greens, then drizzle with remaining oil and sprinkle with remaining 40g Parmigiano-Reggiano and pepper.
