El marinated zucchini with chopped almonds that we propose to you today is very versatile; You can serve it as a starter as a salad or as an accompaniment to meats and baked fish. And it costs so little to do...
Half an hour, it won't take you another minute to prepare this zucchini, which you will then have to marinate in the fridge at least 4 hours so that it takes all the flavor of the mint, garlic and chilli. My advice is that you prepare it at night, so you can have it the next day.
If you want to present it as we have done in Bezzia as a salad, you will only have to add some almonds, pistachios or pine nuts chopped and a few mint leaves, it's that easy! Give it a try and let yourself be surprised with its flavor.
