2. Prepare the Marinade: In a screw-top jar, combine the lemon juice concentrate, Dijon mustard, sugar, dried basil, salt, and cracked pepper. Close the jar tightly and shake vigorously until all ingredients are well combined, creating a flavorful marinade.

3. Marinate the Vegetables: Pour the prepared marinade over the mushroom and zucchini mixture, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Stir gently to incorporate the marinade throughout the vegetables.

4. Chill and Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing the flavors to develop and infuse into the vegetables. For optimal taste, stir the mixture occasionally during marination, at least twice.

5. Serve: After marinating for the desired time, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated mushroom and zucchini mixture to a serving dish, allowing any excess marinade to drain away. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or appetizer, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Tips:

• For added flavor, consider adding minced garlic or finely chopped shallots to the marinade.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the marinade to your taste preferences.
• Serve the marinated vegetables alongside grilled meats, on top of salads, or as a topping for bruschetta or crostini.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the dish is best enjoyed fresh.
