This salad is super and each person can adjust the heat by adding their own
chipotles, if you prefer to do it that way. I take this to potlucks,
parties, etc. and everybody always asks for the recipe.
MARINATED ZUCCHINI SALAD
2 medium zucchini
1/2 tsp. salt
5 Tbsp white vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 c. olive oil
1 cup garbanzo beans, drained
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
1 ripe avocado, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 chipotle in adobo sauce, minced (more to taste)
3 Tbsp grated Romano cheese or 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 head Boston lettuce, cored, separated into leaves
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, and slice 1/4" thick, crosswise. Place
slices in bowl and toss with salt. Spread out on several thicknesses of
paper towels to drain for 30 min. Pat dry.
Combine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Gradually whisk in oil. Add
zucchini, onions, beans, and olives. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 min.
and up to 4 hrs. Just before serving, add avocado, chipotle and cheese;
toss to mix. Serve over bed of lettuce. This is DELICIOUS!!
This makes a lot of salad. You can use the same amt of marinade and only 1
zucchini for 2-4 people and half the onions, avocado, and olives.
