Lemony Shaved Summer Squash and Pecorino on Arugula
- 2 large lemons
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- Scant 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 ounces arugula, preferably wild or baby (2 cups packed)
- 2 small or 1 medium yellow squash, sliced paper-thin
- 2 small or 1 medium zucchini, sliced paper-thin
- 2 ounces aged pecorino cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Grate the zest of one of the lemons directly into a jar or bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
- Squeeze a scant 1/2 cup juice from the lemons and add to the zest.
- Add the salt and oil, cover tightly, and shake vigorously.
- Spread the arugula in a single layer in a serving dish.
- Scatter the squash and zucchini on top.
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cheese all over.
- Shake the dressing again and pour over the salad.
- Grind the pepper over everything and serve immediately.
- The best, and really only, way to get perfect paper-thin slices of squash (and any number of other vegetables) is with a mandoline.
- The traditional, albeit pricey, French mandolines work beautifully, as do the more compact and inexpensive Japanese ones.
