2 medium-sized zucchini squash, washed, dried, and trimmed at both ends

Using the julienne blade of a mandoline,

Transfer zucchini strands to a colander set

drained zucchini strands to a bowl and toss with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
To serve, twirl small amounts of zucchini
strands with a long-tined fork and slip off onto individual serving plates.
