Step 1
Trim the ends off the 2 zucchinis and use a vegetable peeler to shave them into long, thin ribbons. Place the ribbons in a large bowl.
Step 2
Zest the lemon and squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the zucchini ribbons and toss gently with your hands to coat every ribbon evenly.
Step 4
Add the 0.5 cup shaved parmesan and toss once more. Let the salad sit for 5 minutes so the zucchini softens slightly, then serve immediately.
Step 5
Garnish with extra parmesan and a pinch of black pepper if desired.
