Zucchini and Mushroom Salad with Ricotta Salata
"A simple, farmers' market-inspired creation. Try it with the gorgeous yellow zucchinis you see at the farmers' market. While ricotta salata seems to be the perfect choice for this summer dish, you can also use goat or another sheep milk cheese. Who said cooking needs to be hard?"
