Shaved Courgette Salad with Parmesan Pine Nuts

This elegant shaved courgette salad is a celebrated vegetarian side dish that highlights the delicate, nutty flavour of fresh summer vegetables. By slicing the courgettes into paper-thin ribbons, you create a beautiful texture that perfectly absorbs the zingy lemon and chilli dressing. The addition of aromatic fresh basil and toasted pine nuts provides a sophisticated crunch, making it a vibrant centrepiece for any seasonal spread.

Ideal for outdoor dining or a light lunch, this healthy salad is remarkably quick to assemble and requires no cooking beyond toasting the nuts. The salty shavings of Parmesan add a rich finish that balances the citrus notes beautifully. Serve it alongside grilled proteins or as part of a Mediterranean-style buffet for a refreshing, homemade meal that feels truly special.
