Baked Zucchini Salad with Yogurt Mayonnaise | Salată de dovlecei copți cu iaurt și maioneză
Ingredients
For the Salad:
3
medium zucchinis
1/2
onion (red or white, finely chopped)
For the Yogurt Mayonnaise:
2
cloves of garlic (grated)
1
tbsp
of olive oil
Salt (to taste)
2
tbsp
of Greek yogurt
Pepper (to taste)
Fresh dill (chopped)
Instructions
1
Prepare the Zucchini:
Wash 3 zucchinis thoroughly and dry them with a napkin.
Place them in the oven at 200°C (392°F) and bake until softened (about 20-30 minutes).
Halfway through, flip the zucchinis to ensure even cooking.
2
Prepare the Yogurt Mayonnaise:
Grate 2 cloves of garlic and place them in a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and mix everything until it becomes creamy.
Add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
3
Prepare the Zucchini:
Once the zucchinis are soft and baked, carefully cut them in half.
Using a spoon, scoop out the middle part of the zucchini (be cautious, as the zucchinis will be hot).
Place the scooped-out zucchini in a strainer to remove excess water. This step is important to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use the back of the spoon to press the zucchini and release more water.
4
Chop the Zucchini:
Transfer the strained zucchini to a cutting board.
Finely chop the zucchini using a glass knife or wooden spoon (a regular knife might cause discoloration).
5
Combine the Salad:
Add the finely chopped zucchini to the yogurt mayonnaise mixture.
Mix everything well to combine the flavors.
6
Add the Onion:
Add the finely chopped half onion to the salad. If you prefer, you can use red onion for a different flavor.
7
Serve:
Mix everything together thoroughly.
Enjoy your delicious baked zucchini salad!
