This warm salad really allows each ingredient to shine. Charring the zucchini slices brings out the flavor of a typically mild vegetable, and salty Parmesan plus the almond topping are a must for texture and crunch.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 small zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks

It sounded kinda weird, but let me tell you, it was great! I used jalapeño (because I'm a wuss) The mint and parsley really make it!
