Mozzarella Salad

2 tablespoons baby capers in brine

2 firm mixed-color zucchini

2 lemons

2 mild red chilies

2 x 4 ½-oz balls of buffalo mozzarella

Put a small non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Once

hot, go in with a little olive oil and the capers. Toss until

crispy, while you coarsely grate the zucchini into the center

of a clean kitchen towel. Pull up the edges of the kitchen

towel to make a bundle, wring out really well to remove the

excess liquid, then transfer the zucchini to a serving bowl.

Finely grate over the zest of 1 lemon, then squeeze over the

juice from both lemons. Finely grate or slice the chilies and

add to the mix. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin

olive oil, toss together well, then season to perfection. Tear

the mozzarella over the salad, spoon over the crispy capers,

then sprinkle with an extra pinch of black pepper and serve

— this salad is great in its own right, or with some hunks of

crusty bread on the side.
