Zucchini Glut, Part 2...
...I'm sure some of you are familiar with Thai cucumber salad 🤷
...I need the one cucumber I was able to harvest today for tzatziki, but I have plenty of zucchini, so today the zucchini gets to enjoy the Far Eastern dressing!
Cut young, crisp zucchini into slices that aren’t too thin; if the core*1 is already a bit spongy, scrape it out!
Cut the onion*2 into quarter rings, slice the garlic, chop the jalapeño or other chili, and chop the nana mint*3, cinnamon basil or Thai basil, and cilantro leaves; mix everything together. Mix fish sauce, apple cider or wine vinegar*4, a little sesame oil, 1 dash of light soy sauce with a bit of red Thai curry paste and sugar... Toss the zucchini in this mixture and let it marinate for a bit. The zucchini stay wonderfully crisp and are a real treat! 😋
*1)...I use the core to make zucchini hummus
*2)...In the original recipe: red onions
*3)...optional
*4)...In the original recipe: rice vinegar

Klingt super🙂👍den Thai Gurkensalat kenne ich, aber ich wäre nie auf die Idee mit den Zucchinis gekommen. Das werde ich ausprobieren.
