Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat until smoking hot to maximize flavor development.
Add olive oil, then immediately toss in the zucchini, cooking in a single layer without stirring for 2 minutes to achieve a slight char.
Add shallot and garlic, tossing constantly with a scooping motion for another 2-3 minutes until zucchini is golden and just tender.
Remove pan from heat. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Transfer zucchini mixture to a serving bowl. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes, then fold in Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, and mint until creamy and well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
