Raw Courgette Salad with Västerbotten Cheese

Lightly toast the almonds over a gentle heat in a dry frying pan and set aside.

Shave the courgettes into thin strips lengthways. You can use a mandoline for this, or a flat metal cheese plane also works well. You want long, thin flat strips.

Place the courgette strips in a big bowl, then add the leaves and mix gently. Add the cheese and fold in.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, whisk well and season to taste. This salad doesn’t need much dressing, so don’t pour it all on at once – taste as you go along.

Scatter the toasted almonds on top of the salad and serve at once.
