The marinated zucchini without cooking recipe is very, very simple, and the result is fragrant and very aromatic.

Among the zucchini recipes already on the blog, this one is definitely perfect for a side dish to prepare in advance, which can be both a side or an appetizer.

For the successful preparation of marinated zucchini, they need to be sliced very, very thinly, and I recommend using a mandoline slicer with appropriate protection, a very useful tool!

The liquid for the marinade is prepared by emulsifying good quality EVO oil with white wine vinegar and lemon juice.

I then added some parsley, but mint could be great, adjusting the saltiness with fine iodized salt and freshly ground black pepper perhaps….

It’s important to prepare the marinated zucchini without cooking several hours in advance, perhaps the day before, leaving the thin slices of zucchini immersed in the liquid so they absorb the fragrances and become tender and succulent.

The marinated zucchini can also be used to fill a crostino or sandwiches, perhaps adding a creamy component with spreadable cream cheese like Exquisa, Philadelphia, etc.

I considered about 3 hours of rest in the refrigerator for these raw zucchini without cooking, but the longer they absorb, the better the taste!

The storage of marinated raw zucchini in the home refrigerator is up to two days if they are clearly well stored in an airtight container or well-sealed with appropriate clear plastic wrap.
