Cutting zucchini into chunky pieces and giving them a hard sear develops lots of exterior texture and deep color while minimizing sogginess. The dilly sour cream provides a cooling, garlicky counterpart. If dill isn’t your favorite, use another tender summery herb—a handful of basil leaves instead would also be excellent.
