Recipe for Summer Zucchini Salad with Goat Cheese, Dill and Lemon

Ingredients for 4 servings (as side dish):

500 g small zucchini
juice 1 lemon

50 g solid Goat cheese on a piece, coarsely grated
1 handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and black pepper
1 twig dill, roughly dissected

1 untreated lemon in columns

Optional:
1 tb of capers loaded

And this is how it works:

Wash the zucchini and bring to a boil in a large saucepan or pan with water. Add the lemon juice and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes (see tip below). The courgettes should be pleasantly soft, but firm and not mushy.

Remove the courgettes from the water and allow to cool briefly. Quarter and neatly arrange on a large plate or plate.

Spread the grated goat's cheese and cherry tomatoes on the zucchini and drizzle with olive oil. Season salt and pepper and sprinkle capers with dill (and who likes).

Spread the lemon wedges on the zucchini salad so everyone can express the juice fresh on their plate.

Tips:

It's often not so easy to get a little zucchini. In the supermarket, the zucchini according to EU standards are usually quite a veritable size. The organic variety is usually smaller and better suited for the salad. And of course, if you have zucchini in your own garden, you can harvest them young and tender.

If you only get large zucchini, the recipe will still work. Then you only need a really big pot, because the zucchini should be cooked whole and not halved.Leftovers stay well covered in the fridge for a few days.
