Zucchini Carpaccio with Feta and Pine Nuts

We made this recipe with standard green zucchini, but it would be equally delicious with any tender summer squash, such as yellow crookneck, pattypan, white or gold zucchini. Try using a combination of squash to vary the color on the plate.

Notes

Works best with paper thin cut zucchini.  I like to use an electric salad shooter to cut these, but a mandolin or skilled hand and sharp knife will work as well.
