- 2 cups lightly packed baby arugula
- 12 large fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
- 2 to 3 oz. aged sheep's-milk cheese*
- Heat oven to 350u0b0. Toast pine nuts in a pie pan until golden, shaking occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes; set aside. Combine lemon juice, garlic, and fish sauce in a large bowl. Whisk in oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Trim ends from zucchini. With a cheese plane or mandoline, shave zucchini thinly lengthwise.
- Mix zucchini in bowl with dressing. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Add arugula and mint. With a cheese plane, shave as much cheese over salad as you like. Add 2 tbsp. pine nuts and toss. Add more salt and pepper to taste, then transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp. pine nuts and serve immediately.
