Steps:

• Put the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss and sprinkle evenly with another 1 teaspoon salt (you're looking for good distribution of salt.) Let stand for 10 to 20 minutes (the squash should be limp but still have some bite to them.).
• In a small bowl, combine the shallots, garlic, and lemon juice.

Spoon the lemon shallot mixture over and toss some more. Season with pepper and more salt and lemon juice if you think it needs it. Garnish with nuts and fresh herbs, if using.
