Raw baby marrow salad

By Kate Wilson
Full StarFull StarFull StarFull StarFull Star
4 to 6
Easy
20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 T hard cheese or Parmesan, finely grated
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 x 350 g punnet baby marrows
  • 2 x 80 g bags wild rocket
  • a large handful basil
  • 1 gem avocado, sliced

Method

1. Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil and cheese until emulsified and creamy. Season to taste.

2. Slice the marrows as thinly as possible using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin (you can’t do this with a knife, they have to be paper thin.)

3. Place the marrows in a large bowl with the rocket and basil and toss. Add the dressing and toss well again.

4. Lay the tossed salad onto a platter, or pile onto small plates and top with the avocado. Season and serve.
