Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

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 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 big bowl and add the zucchini once it's cool.
Serve as a side dish at your next barbecue.
