Zucchini is one of my top three vegetables. I seriously eat it every single day, no kidding. I love how versatile it is. It can both be used for baking, advanced cooking or just like here, in an easy, delicious and fresh zucchini carpaccio. This zucchini carpaccio is a true favorite of mine and we have been best friends for many years now! I love to make this when I just want a light, quick, fresh and delicious lunch. I’ll just eat it as it is or add some feta cheese or shrimps on top. But it’s also perfect to make as a starter or to serve it as a side dish to your main course.

A few tips:
- Since this dish only takes five minutes to make I would recommend you not to prepare it in advance. It really tastes better when it’s freshly made and still crunchy.
- The key here is really the zucchini, then you can add whatever greens and vegetables to is according to taste.
- I use a mandolin when making this zucchini carpaccio to make sure the sliced are even and thin. You don’t want too thick slices since it won’t feel too good when eating it.
- You can add any nuts or seeds on top. I love mixing it up and using what I have at home or crave. Pumpkin seeds, roasted almonds or pine nuts are other favorite toppings of mine.
