    Wash the zucchini, dry them and trim off both ends. Slice into 1/4 inch slices. Do not slice too thin.

    In a small bowl stir together the remaining olive oil, vinegar, crushed garlic clove and salt. Place zucchini in a medium sized bowl, pour the vinaigrette over the slices and toss to coat. I use my hands to gently toss the zucchini.
