Wash the zucchini, trim off the ends, and grate. Season with salt and let stand for about 10 minutes to draw out the water. Wrap in a linen cloth and wring thoroughly to remove any excess water. Place the squeezed zucchini in a pan along with the crushed garlic. Season with herb salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Sauté on high for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Let cool. Whisk the zucchini mixture with the cottage cheese and cream cheese until smooth. It’s perfect as a spread, but also as a dip for raw vegetables or as a side dish for barbecues.
