Easy and delicious, fresh raw zucchini makes one of the best salad recipes. You can grate, shred, or slice them into matchsticks or noodle shapes to make a lighter version of Italian pasta salad. Toss with fresh-squeezed lemon, toasted walnuts, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut into noodles, ribbons or matchsticks using a knife, spiralizer or vegetable peeler.
Put the zucchini in a large bowl and pour the olive oil over. Toss gently to coat the strands, then season with salt to taste (I usually add ½-1 teaspoon).
Add the garlic, lemon juice, zest, walnuts, and chili flakes and toss again.
Top the bowl with the herbs and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top.
