Steps:
- Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. (Or you can use wooden toothpicks.)
- For the scallops: Slice the zucchini lengthwise on a mandoline into thin slices, about 1/8- inch thick. When you get to the seedy center, rotate the zucchini 1/3 turn and continue to shave slices until you hit seeds. Give the zucchini a final 1/3 turn and shave off the remaining slices. (You want to end up with the same number of zucchini slices as you have scallops.) Discard the seedy center. Wrap a zucchini ribbon around the circumference of each scallop. Thread 2 to 3 scallops per skewer or 1 per toothpick.
- For the dressing: Whisk the mint, chives, orange juice, 2 tablespoons oil, limoncello, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cut up the tomatoes, season them with salt and black pepper to taste, and divide them among 4 plates.
- Brush scallops with oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Grill, turning to cook both sides, until zucchini and scallops are cooked through and have distinct grill marks, about 8 minutes total. Divide the scallops evenly among the plates, drizzle scallops and tomatoes with the dressing, and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Halve each scallop crosswise, if 3/4 inch thick or more. Set aside.
- Trim the ends of the zucchini, and cut them into 1/8-inch slices.
- Drop the tomatoes into boiling water for about 10 seconds to loosen the skins. Remove skins and chop the tomatoes coarsely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat, stirring and tossing. Remove the zucchini to a plate, and keep them warm.

- Add the butter, shallots and garlic. Cook briefly, add the tomatoes, and cook for a minute more. Add the zucchini, lemon juice and rosemary. Cook, stirring and tossing, for a minute over high heat. Blend well. Sprinkle with basil, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the leeks and cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the leeks are tender but not brown.
- Cut the ends of the zucchini and cut six paper-thin slices of zucchini. Reserve the slices, then chop the rest of the zucchini and add it to the saucepan.
- Add the potato and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Add one-half teaspoon of salt. Simmer gently until the potato and zucchini are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Place the contents of the saucepan in a food processor or blender and puree, gradually adding half the milk, until the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl, stir in remaining milk and lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill.
- Recheck seasonings and serve each portion with a dollop of sour cream garnished with a slice of zucchini and a sprinkling of chives.
