Marinate zucchini

Dip the zucchini in the scented emulsion, taking care to turn them well in order to season them all. Evaluate at the moment if they still need a little oil-vinegar or salt.

Remember that they must be seasoned, but not soft!

Let them marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. If you like, add a sprinkling of pepper.
