Ingredients:
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 cups julienned carrot
4 cups julienned green zucchini
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup minced fresh mint
Salt

4 servings

Mint and lemon juice add zest to this simple sauté. A proper julienne cut results in pieces the size of a small wooden matchstick, about 1-1/2 inches long and 1⁄8 inch thick.

Add the oil to a skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the carrot for 2 to 3 minutes, until almost tender. Add the zucchini and scallion and continue to sauté for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Grind in black pepper to taste and remove the pan from the heat. Add the lemon juice, mint, and salt to taste. Serve immediately.
