Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized courgettes (zucchini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the courgettes and slice them lengthwise into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or mandoline.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the courgette ribbons for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a creamy dressing.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh dill and mint leaves. Reserve a small amount for garnish and add the rest to the yogurt dressing. Stir until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Once the courgettes have cooled, arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the top, ensuring the courgettes are evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the reserved fresh herbs and optional toasted pine nuts over the salad for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
