Yes, zucchini are also amazing raw.
Thinly sliced zucchini are coated with sweet and sour dressing and topped with fresh basil.
One of the amazing things about this dish is that it can be prepared in advance.
You can leave the dressed zucchini to marinate in the fridge and when you ready just plate them and refresh them with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and fresh basil leaves.

3 zucchini
1 cup basil leaves
3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
