Russian Zucchini Caviar

We are preparing for the winter - we make squash caviar with mayonnaise. This is one of my favorite recipes for zucchini preservation. Caviar is very tasty, fragrant and moderately spicy. To reduce cooking time, all vegetables can be chopped with a meat grinder or combine with the appropriate nozzle. In the process of cooking caviar is not necessary to puree, you can close the preservation pieces, they are not less tasty. For this recipe, it is better to use young vegetables with unripe seeds. If the zucchini you have is large enough, the core of the seeds must first be removed.
