Notes
To flesh zucchini, see how to core zucchini post. Alternatively, grate zucchini on the large size. Avoid fine/small grating as it will result in mush.
Dried mint can be replaced with fresh finely chopped mint leaves.
Discarding of excess water is optional, I alternative between doing this and not. It just means this zucchini dip can be juicier with the water (which is delicious) and can be mopped up with bread.
