Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

  • Skillet

  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced zucchini and sliced olives.
2
In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
3
Add the toasted pine nuts to the mixing bowl with the zucchini and olives.
4
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper.
5
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
6
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

To make the salad vegan, use agave syrup instead of honey. For a nut-free version, omit the pine nuts or substitute with sunflower seeds. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
