Tried this yesterday, was yummy!
1.5 lbs of zucchini, cut in quarters
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 small bunch of fresh mint, chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Black pepper, freshly ground
Preparation:
Cook the zucchini in boiling salted water until just tender; it's better to undercook than overcook it.
Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let the zucchini cool a little, then transfer it to a shallow serving dish.
Crumble the feta over the top, sprinkle with the mint, and drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Makes 4 servings. Prep time: 10-15 minutes.
