    Prepare the Zucchini

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Slice the zucchini into thin strips or rounds and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Grill the Zucchini

    Place the zucchini on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

    In a blender, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, the juice of half a lemon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    On a serving platter, lay down the grilled zucchini. Tear the Little Gem lettuce and scatter on top. Dice the preserved lemon and sprinkle it over the salad. Drizzle the yogurt toum over the top.
