Slice the zucchini into thin rounds using a mandoline, chef's knife, or food processor. Place in a colander set over a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Allow the zucchini rounds to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse and then transfer to paper towels to dry.
While the salt is drawing excess moisture out of the zucchini, slice the carrots into thin rounds with the mandoline.
Place the carrots in a medium bowl and add the rinsed and dried zucchini.
Top the vegetables with the chopped dill.
Pour the lemon dressing over the herbs and vegetables and toss thoroughly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 or more.
Taste before serving and add salt, if necessary.
Lemon Dressing and/or Marinade
Place the lemon juice, olive oil, nutmeg, and cayenne in a jar with a dash of salt and black pepper. Shake to emulsify.Or, place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
Notes
The prep time includes the refrigerator time necessary for the zucchini and carrots to absorb the flavor of the dressing.The taste of this salad is very light and perfect for a hot day. Use green, fruity olive oil to enhance its vegetal flavors.It will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
