1 In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Reserve the dressing to develop flavor while you make the salad.
2 Split the zucchini length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the zucchini halves crosswise into ½-inch pieces.
3 Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, until it shimmers. Add zucchini to the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until lightly browned but still firm.
4 Trim and cut the salad. Place the romaine, arugula and chives in a large bowl. Stir in the cooked zucchini.
5 Roast the nuts briefly in the same pan as the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon nuts onto salad, and drizzle with salad dressing.
