This beautiful side dish looks complicated but is very easy to assemble. If you don't have time to make your own ricotta, buy high-quality fresh ricotta.
Ingredients
5 medium zucchini, trimmed
Coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Homemade Ricotta Cheese

Directions
Using knife or V-slicer, cut zucchini into paper-thin rounds. Arrange rounds, slightly overlapping, on large platter. Sprinkle lightly with coarse salt and pepper, then green onions.
