Preservation Infos

room temperature : 30 min (Keep covered and out of direct sunlight; serve promptly because raw zucchini releases water.), fridge : 24 hours (Store in an airtight container; add feta and pine nuts only at serving when possible to preserve texture.), freezer : 0 min (Not recommended; raw zucchini becomes watery and soft after freezing.)
