Golden Santini’ And Courgette Salad With Chilli, Garlic, Lemon And Mint
Serves: 4
Prep: 15 mins
Cost per serving: £1.56
Ingredients
4 long and slender courgettes, topped and tailed
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
225g Isle of Wight ‘Golden Santini’ tomatoes, halved lengthways
½ medium-hot red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1 fat garlic clove, finely chopped
The leaves from 10g mint sprigs, finely shredded
Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Slice the courgettes lengthways into very thin slices using either a sharp potato peeler or a mandolin if you have one.
2. Put them into a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil and some seasoning, toss together well, then spread haphazardly out over the base of a flat or very shallow serving dish.
3. Scatter the halved tomatoes over the top, then sprinkle with the chopped chilli, chopped garlic and shredded mint.
4. Sprinkle with a few more sea salt flakes and serve straight away, before the courgettes go limp.
