Zucchini marinated with dill and garlic is a fairly quick and easy cold appetizer to prepare. The basis of the dish is tender young zucchini. Finely chopped, they are marinated in a mixture of the most familiar spices for us – salt, sugar, black pepper. The marinade also contains sunflower oil and vinegar. You can use either refined oil, which has a faint smell of seeds, or unrefined oil with a pronounced aroma. In addition, fragrant dill and garlic are added to the marinade, which perfectly set off the taste of the main ingredient.
This appetizer is more popular in the summer, as ground vegetables have a low price and better taste.
