Tender Courgette Fritters with Green Goddess Dressing

This vibrant vegetarian dish features tender courgette fritters paired with a creamy, herb-flecked green goddess dressing. The fritters are light yet satisfying, using a touch of beer in the batter for a crisp finish and crumbled goat's cheese for a tangy, savoury depth. By salting and squeezing the courgettes, you ensure a perfect texture that avoids any sogginess, making these a reliable favourite for a seasonal lunch or dinner party starter.

Served alongside a fresh lamb's lettuce salad, these homemade fritters are as nutritious as they are delicious. The dressing, packed with fresh dill, chives, and tarragon, can be prepared a day in advance to save time. It is a wonderful way to use up a garden glut of courgettes while bringing a touch of sophisticated bistro flair to your kitchen table.

Blend all ingredients in processor until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Transfer to small bowl. Cover; chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

Using large holes on box grater, coarsely grate courgette into large colander. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon coarse salt over and toss to coat evenly. Place colander over large bowl. Let courgette stand 30 minutes, tossing occasionally. Press on courgette to release as much liquid as possible. Empty courgette into kitchen towel. Roll up to enclose and squeeze dry.

Whisk flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt in medium bowl to blend. Mix in beer. Scrape courgette from towel into bowl; stir to coat evenly (batter will be thick). Mix in cheese.

Heat 80ml oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Working in batches, drop batter into skillet by 60ml fuls, flattening to 3-inch rounds. Sauté until brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 191°C oven 5 to 6 minutes.
