For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the squash ribbons lightly before adding them to the salad. If you don't have shallots, red onion can be substituted. Feel free to add other fresh herbs, such as mint or chives. Serve chilled for optimal refreshment.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Squash: Using a vegetable peeler, create long, elegant ribbons from the squash and zucchini. Transfer them to a large bowl. (5 minutes)
02
StepSalt and Soften: Sprinkle the squash ribbons with salt and gently toss to coat. Allow them to stand for 5 minutes; this will help soften the squash and enhance its flavor. (5 minutes)
03
StepWhisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and pepper until emulsified. (3 minutes)
04
StepCombine and Toss: Add the prepared dressing, shrimp, Parmesan cheese, and sliced shallot to the bowl with the squash ribbons. Gently toss everything together until well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepGarnish and Serve: Sprinkle the salad with fresh basil leaves. For an extra touch, garnish with additional cracked black pepper and a generous dusting of Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)
