This Zucchini Dip with yogurt and walnuts is a super tasty mezze that you can serve as an appetizer at parties. Easy to make and a great way to include zucchini in your diet.
This zucchini recipe is one of our favorite dips. Just like many Turkish mezzes, it is both super healthy and tasty! We love to serve it as a side dish with meat or chicken.
Flavors in it are enough to tempt you to go buy a small bottle of raki. Your mouth starts to water even when preparing it, especially at the step when you mix mashed garlic with yogurt. You don't need any other meze on your table if you have this. If you are not a raki person, no problem. You will still be addicted to this zucchini mezze and you will find your way to eat it. To give you an idea, spreading a generous amount of this zucchini dip in your sandwich is still another great way to use it. You can then place your favorite ingredients for sandwich and enjoy! Believe me it's as good as mayonnaise, even better in sandwiches.

This looks lovely. A friend of ours made something similar last winter but she used celeriac. I didn't think I liked celeriac till that night. It was a treat. Never thought of doing it with courgettes. Will give it a try.

Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts says
I love zucchini! This almost reminds me of chicken salad in America, but using zucchini instead of chicken. Great recipe!
Joanne says
What an interesting recipe. I'd love to try that. I've always thought of zucchini as more Fallish than summer. Maybe in NY it is more of a late season squash.
