For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the zucchini mixture. Feel free to substitute summer squash for zucchini. Yellow squash or a combination of both works beautifully. If you prefer a thicker yogurt sauce, use Greek yogurt. For a thinner sauce, regular yogurt is a great choice. Adjust the amount of garlic to your liking. Start with two cloves and add more if desired.
