The perfect Summer Zucchini Salad With Pine Nuts, Pecorino and Fresh Mint. This is a beautiful, fresh Italian side salad inspired by a wonderful Italian woman named Lalitya, a wonderful chef, I knew in Italy many years ago.

I originally developed this recipe 16 years ago for my cook book Anna Getty’s easy Green Organic. It was one of those recipes I tried over and over again to get it just right. It is by far my favorite quick bread, over the Gluten-Free School-Is-In Banana Bread and my Sweet Potato Bread with Walnuts and Cranberries, and those are both really really good.
