Ingredients for one Serving:

• 2 fresh medium zucchinis (about 300g) or 50g of dried zucchini slices
• 150g natural vegetable yogurt (soy, coconut, almond, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
• A few fresh mint leaves (or basil, or chives)
• 1/2 fresh garlic clove (optional)
• Sea salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Hot water for rehydrating the zucchini

Preparation:

Wash, trim, and slice the zucchinis, or if you choose dried zucchinis, place them in a bowl and cover them completely with hot water for 20-30 minutes, then remove excess water by gently pressing them.

For fresh zucchinis, you can opt for light cooking to preserve nutrients:

• Steamed: Cook the slices for 8-10 minutes until tender.
• Boiled: Boil in a little unsalted water for the same amount of time.
• Pan-fried: Sauté with a drizzle of oil and garlic until soft.

Drain the cooked zucchinis well and let them cool completely.

Transfer the cooled zucchinis to a blender with the vegetable yogurt, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil (if using), fresh herbs, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper.

Blend until a smooth and homogeneous cream is obtained.

For a firmer consistency and a more intense flavor, you can chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
