- Use fresh and firm zucchini for the best texture and flavor.
- Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat to enhance their flavor.
- For the dressing, adjust the lemon juice and honey to your taste; a little more or less can balance the acidity and sweetness to your preference.
- Mix the salad just before serving to maintain the crispness of the greens and the zucchini.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other fresh herbs or a sprinkle of your favorite cheese for extra flavor.
