This salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish for a summer barbecue. The parmesan cheese adds a salty flavor to the dish, while the pine nuts and black olives provide a crunchy texture. The hazelnut oil gives the dish a unique nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet and tender courgette.
