How to Make Salad Of Yogurt And Courgettes
- Coarsely grate the courgettes and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt, toss gently, and set aside for 30 minutes to allow the courgettes to release excess moisture.
- After 30 minutes, drain the courgettes thoroughly, pressing out as much liquid as possible. Separate the shreds to prevent lumps.
- While the courgettes are draining, thinly slice the onion.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the Greek yogurt with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop (about 1 minute).
- Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add the drained courgettes to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the courgette mixture cool slightly.
- Once cooled, gently fold the courgette mixture into the prepared yogurt.
- Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper to your liking.
- For a chilled salad, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. For a warm salad, transfer the mixture to a double boiler over low heat. Stir gently in one direction until warm, being careful not to boil.
- Serve and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs (optional)
