Ingredients


3 tbsp Olive Oil, Extra Virgin
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 clove(s) Garlic
1/2 tbsp Salt
1/4 tbsp Chili powder
2 medium Zucchini
1 head Lettuce, romaine
114 gm Arugula
4 tbsp Chives (finely chopped fresh)
3/4 cup Walnuts (chopped)
1 pinch Salt and pepper

Instructions


  1. 1 In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Reserve the dressing to develop flavor while you make the salad.
  2. 2 Split the zucchini length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the zucchini halves crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
  3. 3 Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, until it shimmers. Add zucchini to the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until lightly browned but still firm.
  4. 4 Trim and cut the salad. Place the romaine, arugula and chives in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked zucchini.
  5. 5 Roast the nuts briefly in the same pan as the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon nuts onto salad, and drizzle with salad dressing.
