Marinated Zucchini Salad

This looks promising, especially since I still have a ton of basil and a half lemon living in my fridge. I'll give it a go and see how it tastes. If not, I'll stock up on baking ingredients and toss all my future zucchinis into a loaf pan. 

Ingredients:
- 2 zucchini
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 small spoon sugar
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 1 spoon lemon juice
- 1 spoon olive oil

Directions:
1. Combine vinegar, sugar and salt. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini into long ribbons (not coins).
3. Marinate zucchini strips overnight.
4. Blanch garlic and basil. Reserve a spoon of the liquid.
5. Chop garlic and basil finely and mix with the reserved cooking liquid, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Drain zucchini strips and top with the basil mixture. Serve!
