Preparation of Zucchini Carpaccio Side Dish

This side dish is very easy to make. Wash the zucchinis and remove the ends.
Then, using a mandolin slicer, make very thin slices about 1mm thick.
Gather all the slices in a container, and add:
Lemon juice, oregano, mint, lemon thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
Mix, close the container, and transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
After the time has passed, drain the zucchinis from their marinade, distribute them on plates with a little more of the herbs used for marinating.
With the marinated zucchinis as in the recipe, you can make this capricious cheesecake, click here to see how I make it
If you prefer the slices cut into rounds, you can also follow the same recipe, and if you want, you could enrich the side dish with balsamic vinegar glaze.
