Spicy Marinated Zucchini and Mozzarella Salad
Lemony, spicy, creamy, crunchy. This Zucchini salad has it all, it is fresh and light, but served with crusty bread it is substantial enough for lunch.

- Pour in the olive oil and stir well with a fork until well combined.

- Leave it to stand for a few of minutes then spread over a serving platter.
- Drain the mozzarella and then carefully rip into small pieces.
