Jeanne & Clare: Zucchini or courgettes - whatever we call it - this is really nice.

Bok: It wasn't bitter actually. In the slicing, I discarded the very first slice the one with the thick skin. So I used only ones where the skin is on the sides.

Sha & AnP: This is real easy to make.

Hi CeliaK!

One of my favorite vegetables! I notice, you didn't peel off the skin, just wondering how you got rid of its unpleasant bitter taste.

That's funny because we call them zucchini in Australia, it might be from all the italian immigrants. It looks like a really nice salad that I am sure I will make!

Hi Celia

Thrilled to hear you liked this enough to make this for your family! It really is one of my favourite salad recipes...

Oddly enough, I always used to call it carpaccio of courgettes back home - I think I only switched to the Italian version when I got to England!
