Courgette Salad is a refreshing dish often found in Mediterranean cuisine, showcasing the versatility of zucchini, also known as courgettes. Typically, raw or lightly sautéed courgette ribbons are paired with ingredients such as olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, fresh herbs like mint or parsley, and sometimes shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta for added flavor. Variations may include nuts like pine nuts or almonds, or seasonal vegetables for extra texture. This salad is low in calories but rich in nutrients, thanks to courgette's high water content and fiber, which aid in hydration and digestion. It’s packed with antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and potassium. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, while lemon juice boosts vitamin C. However, cheese and nuts can increase fat and sodium content, making portion control important for those watching these intakes. Courgette Salad is a light, healthful choice perfect for warm-weather meals.
