Trim off and discard the stem ends of the zucchini. Cut the zucchini in small cubes. Chop the olives and mix with the zucchini. Season with olive oil, the zest of the lime, pepper and salt, if needed. Let it rest at room teperature for about 30 minutes.
Toast the almonds, or the pine nuts, in a pan for 5-10 minutes, until light golden.

Crush the breadsticks in small pieces without reducing to powder. Do it by hand or pulsing them with a blender.
