Spicy Marinated Zucchini

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ pounds zucchini, sliced into ¼” slices
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• juice and zest from 1 fresh lemon
• 2 large sprigs fresh dill, chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
• 2 teaspoons Sri Racha sauce or your favorite hot sauce (can use less or none at all if you want less spicy zucchini)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons Garlic Gold^® Oil

Instructions:

1. Put the zucchini slices in a colander and toss with sea salt.
2. Place the colander in a large bowl.
3. Fill up a smaller bowl ¾ of the way with water. Place it on top of the colander of zucchini to weight it down. Allow to sit 3 hours to drain excess water from the zucchini, occasionally draining water from the bottom of the bowl.
4. Rinse salted zucchini slices thoroughly, then blot dry with paper towels. Place in a medium bowl.
5. Combine remaining ingredients and toss in the bowl with the zucchini slices. Allow to marinate at least 3 hours or overnight.

Yield:

Makes 8 appetizer-sized servings.
