Zucchini, Pecorino & Mint Salad

4.7
3 ratings
With good reason, a lot of summer cooking follows a very basic principle: Less is more. With ripe summer produce, the less you do to it, the more you let the ingredients shine—and the better the final outcome will taste. This, to me, is the quintessential summer salad.
