Zucchini salad with feta is a light yet nutritious dish from sunny Greece. It combines the freshness of young zucchinis, the richness of feta cheese, and the tanginess of olives to create a harmony of flavors. This salad has a unique texture: tender vegetables, the graininess of rice, and the creaminess of cheese complement each other perfectly. Subtle notes of tarragon vinegar and garlic give the dish a Greek character. It can be served as a standalone light dish or as a side to meat. An ideal option for a summer dinner, especially with crispy black bread. This salad is not only tasty but also healthy due to its high content of vitamins and healthy fats.
