I almost took a picture to show you how big my biceps have become.

I see you looking confused, but really I have been lifting some pretty heavy weights this week, and I am not talking about the dumbells at the gym.

Nope, I am talking about the herculean sized zucchinis.   I know I have said it before, but how do those squash grown into behemouths overnight?  I may have some record breakers this year.  Maybe I need to enter them into the summer fair of the largest zucchini contest.  Yep, I bet I have removed a few blue ribbon winners this year.

Well with my endless supply of zucchini I have been finding some creative ways to enjoy them, but this Zucchini Carpacchio recipe is so genius.  It takes zero time to prepare, and it is quite beautiful served up on a pretty plate.   Perfect to serve as a salad or side, and great to serve at the BBQ this summer, because you can make it ahead of time and serve at room temperature.

Have you ever grown zucchini?  Did you get baseball size squashes?  If so, what did you do with them?

    I can never grow zucchini and I have no idea why. It’s supposed to be easy! But for some reason it won’t grow for me. I always end up with a couple tiny zucchini and that’s it. So disappointing. Oh well. This zucchini carpacchio looks fantastic so I’ll have to try it with my one or two zucchini this year! 🙂

    The one year my dog dug up every plant except my zucchini. I was left with MONSTROUS zucchini! I could not cook fast enough! Now my mother-in-law left for vacation and gave me a ton of zucchini… Guess I know what I am making 🙂

    I love the simplicity of the flavors in here, and how they highlight the zucchini instead of mask it – just beautiful.

  4. This is a great and versatile recipe. My mother used to make a similar one and also with asparagus. Great share!

    Those remind me of the zuchinni patties that I always make, only raw! This looks like a great choice on a hot summer day 🙂

    I love fresh dishes like this. i have tried something similar, but with an added twist of lemon juice. Mint isn’t my favorite either. Basil or parsley….yeh.
