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 salt. Leave for 5-10 minutes and then gently press the zucchini to remove the water.
- Fry the zucchini cubes in butter for a couple of minutes over medium heat. They should not brown, just slightly soften. Set aside to cool.
- Mix all other ingredients in a big bowl and add the zucchini once it's cool.
- Serve as a side dish at your next barbecue.
Tips
Not a fan of hardboiled eggs? Then try this egg-free version of our Zucchini salad.
Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeño depending on how much spice you like.
Love the idea to use dill!
