Description

An incredibly simply appetizer to make with that bounty of summer zucchini. It comes together quickly and is a perfect make-ahead recipe for summer entertaining and snacking. The chilling time in the refrigerator allows the flavors to blend and deepen. This dip is also delightful as a spread to compliment turkey and tomato sandwiches in the place of traditional mayonnaise.


Ingredients

2-3 medium zucchini, washed
1 small onion, sliced 

1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ c. Plain Greek yogurt
½ c. cream cheese
1 c. fresh parsley, basil or a combination of the two
½ lemon, juiced

 

To Serve: Assorted fresh vegetables and crackers, as desired


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper for easy clean up.

  2. Slice zucchini and onion into 1/8” slices. In a large bowl, gently toss zucchini and onion with olive oil. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  3. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and place in the oven to roast until tender and lightly golden, 18-20 minutes.

  4. Transfer cooked zucchini mixture to a blender or a food processor. Add Greek yogurt, cream cheese, fresh herbs, and lemon juice. Process until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and/or lemon juice, as needed.

For best flavor, place in refrigerator to chill and allow the flavors to marinate for at least 90 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
