Greek Salad with Zucchini, Greens and Feta
4 servings
30 minutes
Zucchini salad with herbs and feta is the embodiment of freshness in Mediterranean cuisine. Greeks appreciate simple yet harmonious flavor combinations, and this salad is a great example. Tender grated zucchini adds lightness to the dish, while fresh herbs—mint, dill, and green onions—fill it with the aroma of a summer garden. Feta adds creamy saltiness, and the lemon dressing with garlic and olive oil gives a tangy zest. This salad refreshes beautifully and can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to fish and meat. Chilling it before serving enhances the flavor even more, allowing the ingredients to fully unfold.
