1 medium sized green zucchini squash
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instruction:
Trim both ends of zucchini squash; use a mandoline with a 1/8-inch wide tooth blade

or vegetable peeler to cut thin lengthwise slices then cut them into lengthwise julienne strips to resemble
zucchini spaghetti pasta.

strands on a long-tined fork, slip off the fork onto serving plates piling up as high as
possible for a gourmet presentation and serve immediately.
