Instructions
- Peel and cut the zucchini into pieces that are about half an inch (1-1.5 cm) thick. Use a spoon to remove the seeds. Place in a colander and add a sprinkle of salt. Leave for 5-10 minutes and then cautiously press out the water.
- Fry the cubes in butter for a couple of minutes over medium heat. They should not brown, just slightly soften. Set aside to cool.
- Mix the other ingredients in a large bowl and add the zucchini once it's cool.
Tip!
You can prepare the salad 1-2 days ahead of time; the flavors only enhance with time. For tasty variety, go ahead and add a chopped hard boiled egg! Or try this jazzed up version—our Zucchini Salad with Eggs.
Just a sprinkle will do the job. The recipe has been edited to reflect this. Thank you for letting us know it was not clear.
Sounds great! So glad you enjoyed it!
