Low Carb Zucchini salad

Ingredients:

2 lbs zucchini
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
salt and pepper
3 oz. celery stalks, finely sliced
2 oz. chopped scallions
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
½ tbsp Dijon mustard

Method:

1Peel and cut the zucchini into pieces that are about half an inch (1-1.5 cm) thick. Use a spoon to remove the seeds. Place in a colander and add salt. Leave for 5-10 minutes and then cautiously press out the water.
2Fry the cubes in butter for a couple of minutes over medium heat. They should not brown, just slightly soften. Set aside to cool.
3Mix the other ingredients in a large bowl and add the zucchini once it's cool.
