1. In a colander, sprinkle the zucchini with 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt; toss to combine, and let stand at room temperature 45 minutes.
2. Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out any remaining juice.
3. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and the scallions, dill, mint, eggs, and cheese.
4. Fold in the flour until just combined.
5. Line a large platter or baking sheet with paper towels; set aside.
6. In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-low heat.
7. Using half the batter, drop heaping teaspoons directly into pan to create about 14 1 1/2-inch patties, each about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Cook the patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
9. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the zucchini fritters to the paper-towellined platter, and season with salt.
10. Repeat with the remaining batter and tablespoon oil.
11. Serve immediately with tzatziki.
12. In a colander, sprinkle the cucumber with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; toss to combine.
