Dietary mousse from zucchini
4 servings
45 minutes
Dietary zucchini mousse is a light and delicate dish, perfect for those aiming for healthy eating. Zucchini, with its mild flavor and low calorie content, has become a favorite in European cuisine. This mousse features an airy texture provided by whipped egg whites. The addition of herbs and spices gives the dish freshness and zest, while oat bran forms a crunchy base. Baking in a water bath preserves tenderness, making the mousse pleasant to taste and healthy. It can be served as a standalone dish or as an original side to fish or chicken. An ideal option for a light dinner or refined snack!
