It's hot and humid and you really don't want to cook: just the thought of turning on a burner boils your blood. Enter: zucchini salad, no cooking and no heat necessary. All you need is 30 to 40 minutes, and a zen state of mind. 

Raw zucchini when eaten straight can be a bit astringent: it seeps out little beads of moisture that can leave a slight soapy feel on your tongue. Lightly salting sliced zucchini for 15 to 20 minutes transforms that soft-tender but astringent raw zucchini into a crisp-tender seasoned zucchini. While you wait for that zucchini to drain off a bit of liquid, move on to making your  creamy minty yogurt dressing and tart, crunchy minced shallot quick pickles.

Cheese or no cheese, this salad is here for you on the hottest of days. You can even cut your zucchini into different kinds of shapes—whatever makes you happy!
