  1. 1

    Slice 1 zucchini (160g) into thin slices 1-2mm thick. Add 1/2 tsp salt and mix. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Rinse under running water to remove salt, then firmly squeeze by hand to drain excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Add the squeezed zucchini to the bowl and toss with the mayonnaise mixture. Taste as you go and add ★just a few drops of dashi soy sauce to adjust the overall flavor.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional black pepper if desired.

Tips

It's recommended to add dashi soy sauce gradually at the end to adjust the taste. Adjust the seasoning amounts slightly depending on the amount of zucchini and your preference for a better balance. Using low-fat mayonnaise helps reduce calories.
