1 whole courgette, sliced finely with a mandolin
A big handful of rocket leaves
A smaller handful of mixed chopped herbs: chives, parsley, mint, and dill
Lemon juice, to taste, plus ½ tsp lemon zest
2 cloves of garlic, mashed
2–3 tbsp olive oil

Method

Slice the courgette finely using a mandolin or food processor. Place the slices in a bowl and salt lightly; this will draw out some water. After about 15 minutes, squeeze the slices, then transfer to a salad bowl with the remaining ingredients. Toss well to combine, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
