Method

For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, basil and salt. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet (cast iron is best) until very hot. 

Place squash in the pan and sear over high heat, until browned and charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Flip and sear until both sides are browned, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. 

Transfer zucchini to a large platter. 

Spoon vinaigrette over zucchini. Serve warm.
