Step by step recipe with photos and videos

A juicy salad of young zucchini with feta cheese is a great option for a light summer dinner, a refreshing side dish or appetizer for grilled meat, fish, stews and baked vegetables. Made from zucchini cut into thin ribbons, with the addition of lemon zest and juice, a small amount of red onion, garlic and aromatic fresh herbs, the salad has an appetizing fresh taste with citrus notes and turns out to be light and satisfying. Try it!

You will need these ingredients for cooking.

Prepare a dressing. Combine olive oil, minced garlic clove, juice and lemon zest. Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous emulsion is obtained. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Grate the courgettes and cut into thin slices or long strips (using a potato peeler). If the seed part of the marrow pulp is already coarse enough, it is better to remove it.

Add the red onion, cut into thin half rings or quarters, and the prepared dressing to the courgettes. Mix everything thoroughly.

Cover the container with a lid or cling film, place in the refrigerator for cooling and infusion.

You can infuse the salad from 30 minutes to 2 days. The longer the mixture is infused, the softer and juicier the zucchini become, and the more they are saturated with the aroma and taste of citrus dressing. I usually refrigerate the salad for 4-8 hours (in the morning or lunch, if I'm cooking for dinner).

Add finely chopped feta cheese and fresh herbs (green onions, parsley and mint leaves) to the table before serving the salad.

Stir well again, taste the salad and add more salt, ground black pepper, or lemon juice to taste if necessary.

Young zucchini salad with feta cheese is ready. Enjoy your meal.
