Summer Zucchini Salad with Yogurt

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly with plenty of water and dry them. Then peel them and grate them or cut them into thin slices.

Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a large pan and heat. Add the chopped or grated zucchinis to the pan and sauté over medium heat for approximately 8-10 minutes until they soften and slightly change color. Remove the sautéed zucchinis from the heat and let them cool to room temperature.

Prepare strained yogurt in a separate bowl. Add the crushed garlic to the strained yogurt and whisk well with salt until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Gently mix the room temperature zucchinis with the garlic yogurt and place them on a serving plate.

Lightly heat the olive oil in a sauce pan. Add the sesame seeds and red pepper powder and sauté briefly in the oil to release their aroma into the oil.

Serve by drizzling the aromatic olive oil sauce over the salad.
