Ingredients
  • 1 1/2pounds zucchini, cut crosswise into 2-inch lengths
  • 4tablespoons fragrant extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1medium white onion, sliced8 ounces or so
  • 2tablespoons slivered fresh garlic
  • 1tablespoon finely grated lemon zest1 large lemon
  • 1tablespoon each chopped mint and parsley
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Lemon wedges and whole-milk yogurtto garnish
Instructions
  1. Steam the zucchini until it’s just softened but still bright green, 8-10 minutes. With a fork, mash the zucchini in a colander to press out as much water as possible. Zucchini will look very roughly chopped. Set aside.
  2. In a sauté pan add 3 tablespoons olive oil and cook the onions and garlic over moderate heat until crisp tender and just beginning to color, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, then gently stir in the zucchini and lemon zest.
  3. Turn mixture into a bowl and stir in the mint, parsley, and remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Serve at room temperature with lemon wedges (squeeze fresh juice over salad) and a dollop of yogurt. Can be prepared up to a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator; allow salad to come to room temperature before serving.
