Lemony Shaved Summer Squash and Pecorino on Arugula

1. 1

   Grate the zest of one of the lemons directly into a jar or bowl with a tight-fitting lid.

2. 2

   Squeeze a scant 1/2 cup juice from the lemons and add to the zest.

3. 3

   Add the salt and oil, cover tightly, and shake vigorously.

4. 4

   Spread the arugula in a single layer in a serving dish.

5. 5

   Scatter the squash and zucchini on top.

6. 6

   Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cheese all over.

7. 7

   Shake the dressing again and pour over the salad.

8. 8

   Grind the pepper over everything and serve immediately.

9. 9

   The best, and really only, way to get perfect paper-thin slices of squash (and any number of other vegetables) is with a mandoline.

10. 10

    The traditional, albeit pricey, French mandolines work beautifully, as do the more compact and inexpensive Japanese ones.
