Fresh Zucchini Salad with Avocado, Feta and Almonds


Ingredients

4 small zucchini, shaved into strips
4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 sprigs of fresh thyme, de-stemmed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 avocado
1/4 cup slivered almonds, roasted
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
fresh ground black pepper to taste


Directions

In a large bowl, combine zucchini, lemon juice, thyme, salt and olive oil and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, peel, seed and chop the avocado and add to the zucchini mixture along with the almonds, feta and some ground black pepper.

NOTE: A chef's mandolin is really helpful in shaving the zucchini. You could also use a potato peeler or a cheese slicer to make thin, even slices.
