4 item zucchini
2 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 bunch mint
0.5 item thin-skinned lemon, optional
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Run a vegetable peeler down the length of each zucchini to make long, thin ribbons.
Whisk the lemon juice and olive oil with salt and pepper, toss the ribbons in the dressing and let them sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.
If using the extra lemon, wash it and chop it finely, skin and all. Scatter it over the salad with the mint leaves and toss once more.
