--------  ------------  --------------------------------

  2             pounds  zucchini -- (small sized), peeled and diced

  1         tablespoon  extra-virgin olive oil

  6        tablespoons  full-fat plain yogurt

  2                     garlic cloves -- very finely chopped

                        juice of 1/2 lemon

                        salt -- to taste

                        To garnish: -- imported black olives, sliced hard-boiled egg, tomato slices (any or all are optional)

  2                     scallions -- chopped

  2        tablespoons  chopped fresh dill

Place the zucchini in a large saucepan of boiling water and let continue to boil until very soft and let continue to boil until very soft and easily squashed with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain in a strainer and press down lightly with the back of a wooden spoon to squeeze out any liquid.

Transfer to a medium-size bowl and mash with a fork, then stir in the olive oil, yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice and season with salt. Arrange on a platter and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving cool or at room temperature.

Garnish with black olives, egg slices, scallions and dill, and/or tomato slices.

Makes 8 servings as meze, or starter

AuthorNote: This Turkish meze called 'kabak saltasi' is a cooked and mashed zucchini salad. Its preparation is very simple, yet very flavorful when you use naturally sweet small fresh zucchini and a good-quality yogurt.
